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 iamb is the term used for the most common metrical foot in English poetry, short stress followed by long, ti-tum. Five iambs in one line together comprise in turn the commonest pattern in English verse. Webster only departs from the verse of iambic pentameter when he strays, rarely, into prose.
