has (1) his (1) earned (1) points (1) doub-led (2) = 6.

A poetic foot is, I believe, determined by the meter and rhythm of the 
poem... it's kind of hard to explain, but it has to do with the overall 
pulse and beat-- it can be a number of words, or sometimes one long word... 
this is probably the worst definition ever, and has done nothing but confuse 
you more.  Anyone else want to take a shot?
