What is a six line poem called?

A nine-line poem is technically called a nonet, but the scarcity of the form means that the word is very rarely used, or found.Most poems set in nine-line stanzas follow the pattern of Sir Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene: eight lines in iambic pentameter, followed by a ninth line set in iambic hexameter (the extra foot, as well as the 12-syllable line itself, is called an Alexandrine.)The usual rhyme scheme for such a stanza is A-B-A-B-B-C-B-C-C. The form is popular enough to have acquired its own term: a Spenserian stanza.

Why did shakespeare write in iambic pentameter?

In 1573, as part of his new religious reforms (because he had just become Pope in 1572) Pope Gregory XIII instituted the Catholic practice that all secular poetry was required to be written in iambic pentameter in order to encourage primarily religious work. By the time William Shakespeare was of age to begin seriously writing poetry, it had become common practice to use primarily iambic pentameter in any work worthy of reading. Because of this, he adopted the practice of writing in iambic pentameter. Interestingly, the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in iambic pentameter mirrors the way most people naturally speak. This writing pattern, embraced by Shakespeare, makes the Old English verse sound more conversational, and more familiar to modern listeners.
