Answer: Trochaic tetrameter

Step-by-step explanation:

The Trochaic tetrameter is a line of four consecutive trochees. A trochee is a two-syllable metrical pattern in poetry in which a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable. It is often regarded as the way witches speech because of its two syllables. Trochaic meters are usually regarded to have an awkward or unnatural feel to the ear because it is different from traditional English poetry.
