Understanding Pantameter in Poetry

Pantameter is a term used in poetry to describe a line of verse that consists of ten syllables. The word "pantameter" comes from the Greek words "pan," meaning "all," and "metron," meaning "measure." In poetry, a pantameter is a line of verse that contains exactly ten syllables, with no more or less. This type of line is often used in formal poetry, such as sonnets and blank verse, where strict meter and rhyme schemes are followed.
