Not precisely
The rythmic spring of a poem - it's pattern of rythmn - is called the pentameter.

It's an art form really
One of my A level English Lit exam questions was "Is The Canterbury Tales doggerel?".
Yes. At least, I said it was and got a C.

I wrote a deiberately bad poem about a mountain that
goes on for 15 verses. It was for a larp thing and had a magic ability that anyone who heard the first verse was transfixed until the last. I am a git.
If you like I could find it for you now?

Until the 1950's the wool mills in Bradford would close for a couple of weeks in Summer
And every day there'd be about 6 special trains to Morecambe and back.
That's two neat bookends of my life (born near Morecambe, live in Bradford) and I've always fancied writing a doggerel epic of a day to Morecambe, but defining every hour with a different pentameter to express the emotions.

That would almost be brilliant
All it lacks is the syntax-defying wranglings that only the truly bad use to effect a plausible scan - eg:-
I thought tonight that to the pub I'd go
But then in the back of my mind I did know
That I must take my cat to the vet on the morrow
And if a night in The Thornhill I did choose
I'd roll up at the vets stinking of booze
And to the RSPCA my kitty I'd lose.
