what is the meter of robert frosts mending wall?

Answer 1

Iambic pentameter: Blank Verse is any verse comprised of unrhymed lines all in the same meter.

For example, the dominant foot in Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" is the iamb, and there are five feet per line. Thus, the poem is written in iambic pentameter. Notice, however, that not each foot is an iamb, but Frost mixes up the feet, as in the first few lines of the poem.

"Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun"
