Let's see. That is like a measurement of count in poetry (okay sonnets, I don't know if other forms use it). It measures two syllables per count. Like, you know how haiku counts syllables for it's lines and it has to have a count of 5-7-5 to be haiku? Well, two syllables equals one iambic pentameter. So haiku, following that method of measurement would have a count of 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 - 2 1/2. Although, you don't use iambic pentameter in haiku, you count the syllables instead. I write mostly sonnets so I use iambic pentameter a lot, and I tend to measure other things like that too. I'm not sure if that is a good habit, but it is an easy way to make sure my lines measure the same length. However, I only know sonnets to require such measurement. They have to have five per line, or its not a sonnet.
