The metrical pattern of a poem is?

Meter is a regular pattern of stresses and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry. It can be described in terms of feet, which are groups of syllables with a consistent stress pattern. The most common feet in English poetry are iambs (stressed-unstressed), trochees (unstressed-stressed), anapaests (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable), and dactyls (stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables). The meter of a poem is determined by the number and type of feet in each line. For example, a poem written in iambic pentameter has ten syllables per line, with the stresses falling on the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth syllables.
