Iamb (poetry) An iamb /ËaÉªÃ¦m/ or iambus is a metrical foot used in various types of poetry. Originally the term referred to one of the feet of the quantitative meter of classical Greek prosody: a short syllable followed by a long syllable (as in delay).
An unstressed syllable, then a stressed one. The iamb is the most common kind of foot in English poetry. Here are three examples of words that have an iambic rhythm (bah-BAH). Here's a sentence written in iambic meter: His noisy snoring woke the neighbors' dog.. Bah-BAH bah-BAH bah-BAH bah-BAH bah-BAH.
