Many poems are in iambic pentameter, but not many poems are 4 lines long. Do you actually know what iambic pentameter is? It's when the lines consist of 10 beats, 5 stressed and then unstressed syllables. If you find a poem that is 4 lines long, just clap out the syllables that have the emphasis on them, and then you'll be able to tell if there are 5. Good luck!

No. I'd be willing to reinforce for you how iambic pentameter works, but I won't do your work for you.
