A line with five consecutive iambs is called an iambic pentameter. This metrical pattern consists of five pairs of syllables, where each pair has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (da-DUM). Iambic pentameter is commonly used in English poetry, particularly in the works of Shakespeare and other classical poets.
