Iambic pentameter is a common meter in English poetry, being very much in favour durign Shakespeare's day and being a meter which accomodates natural speech rhythms.

The Victorian period was an era of action, not of much philosophic speculation and thought. From her far and distant colonies such as India and Africa, riches flowed into England. The prosperous English mind and society became more kinetic. Action on field and stage was the identity of those times. Presentation of action stories in theatres was a favourite of those times. This was the social setting which prompted poems written during the Victorian period to be in the narrative form, and which made this form of poetry common in that period. In other words, this type of poetry was fulfilling the function of high drama which suited most the kinetic minds of that times.

Victorian poets were interested in exploring complex emotions and societal issues through their works. The narrative form allowed them to delve into characters, settings, and conflicts in a more detailed and immersive way. This poetic style also helped to engage readers by telling stories that resonated with the experiences and concerns of the era.

The names of two common rhythmic patterns in poetry are anapest and iamb.
Victorian poetry is classified as poetry written in England during the time of Queen Victoria. It followed the Romantic movement, and is marked by darker qualities and subjects. Romanticism offers an idealized look at the world. Life was beautified, and the human pursuit of knowledge and power was seen as a wonderful thing. Romantic poetry also tends to personify and beautify nature. The poet attempts to connect himself to nature and relate with it. For example, in his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," William Wordsworth compares himself to a drifting cloud, and then rejoices in the beauty of a field of daffodils. Victorian Poetry, however, is much harsher and realistic. During the Victorian era, people became aware of the grave social injustices in their world, and therefore many people rejected the romanticized version of society. Victorian poetry tends to deal with more serious and realistic subjects, such as child labor, slavery, and other such social injustices. It often called for social reform, as in Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "The Cry of the Children." In this poem, Browning write of the atrocity of slavery, and the damage it has done to children and families. Victorian poetry marks society's progression from the carefree notions of Romanticism to a state of social awareness and reform.
