In poetry, a dimeter ˈdɪmɪtər is a metrical line of verse with two feet. The particular foot can vary.
Consider Thomas Hood's "Bridge of Sighs:", in which the first line of a pair is of two feet, each composed of three syllables, and the subsequent line is of two feet, each of two syllables.
Take her up \ tenderly,
Lift her \ with care,
Fashioned so \ slenderly,
Young and \ so fair.
