Do most languages have a similar ratio of long to short (or stressed to unstressed) syllables?

I was just reading an article on metres in Persian verse, and noticed that some verse forms have significantly different ratios of long to short syllables. That got me wondering if there are some metres that can’t be used in certain languages, because there aren’t enough words with the necessary proportion of long syllables.
