Please sir as your knowledge greatly outweighs my own. I am nerd yes does the gravemind in halo truly speak in trochaic heptameter?

[@DrAidan]

I know nothing about Halo but I can tell you that heptameter means there are seven metric feet in every line and that each foot contains a trochee (pronounced trow-key). You can find more about trochees in my video "Iambic Pentameter - Variations" - here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqG0lomVntVjfZo A trochee is made up of two syllables where there is more stress on the first syllable and less on the second. This creates a "TUM-ti" rhythm. You can hear the rhythm in these lines: BY the / SHORES of /GITche GUmee, BY the / SHIN-ing /BIG-Sea-WA-ter, This is written in trochaic tetrameter (four feet per line) but you can hear the rhythm. And here is a line written in trochaic octameter (eight feet per line) ONCE up-ON a MIDnight DREAR-y, WHILE I PONdered WEAK and WEAR-y, So, if the Gravemind sounds anything like that then the answer is YES! Hope that's useful.
