pentameter

n
lit.
When a poem has five feet in each line, it is said to be written in pentameter. Each foot has a set number of syllables. Iambs, spondees, and trochees consist of two syllables. Thus, iambic pentameter, spondaic pentameter, and trochaic pentameter lines would have a total of ten syllables. Anapests and dactyls are feet consisting of three syllables.
