The 'Kalevala meter' is the meter of the epic Finnish poem, Kalevala. It is Octosyllabic - that is, it has eight syllables in a line (although a stricter definition of 'Octosyllable' is a line with a strong syllable on the seventh of the line).
It has also been used by Longfellow in The Song of Hiawatha as, in English, it is a very easy meter to write in.
