Anapaest
Poetic Rhythm
Anapaest is used to create a specific rhythmic pattern in poetry that mimics a galloping or waltzing motion. 
Speech Emphasis
When reading poetry aloud, emphasize the third syllable in an anapaestic foot to capture the intended beat. 
Literary Effect
Anapaests can impart a playful, lighthearted tone, contrasting more serious meters like iambic pentameter.
