Pentameter is a poetic meter that consists of five metrical feet per line. Writers use pentameter to create rhythm and structure in their poetry, making the lines flow smoothly and melodically. It can help emphasize key ideas or emotions in a poem, and is commonly used in traditional forms like sonnets or blank verse.
