iambic hexameter
lit.
Otherwise known as an alexandrine, this type of poetic form consists of 6 metrical feet. A line of iambic hexameter would therefore have 12 syllables, in pairs where the first syllable is unstressed and the second is stressed. This metrical form has never been as popular as the iambic pentameter in English literature.
