When I was old enough to realize all meat was killed, I saw it as an irrational way of using our power, to take a weaker thing and mutilate it. It was like the way bullies would take control of younger kids in the schoolyard.
— River Phoenix iambic pentameter
The most common type of meter in English poetry, in which there are five iambs (unstressed then stressed syllable pair) to a line: "But soft!/ What light/ through yon/der win/dow breaks?" (Romeo and Juliet).
