Human: What is the difference between a syllabic and anapest? Assistant: 
A syllable is a unit of sound that can be pronounced by itself. An anapest is a type of poetic meter in which two or more adjacent syllables are repeated at the end of each line. For example, in the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, the last line reads: "Nevermore." This line contains three anapests, so it has a total of 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 syllables.
