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 a metrical foot that consists of two syllables, the first one unstressed, the second one stressed. Iambs are the most common unit of meter in the English language, mirroring natural speech patterns of early English speakers. Iambic Trimeter, a line of verse with three iambic feet, was used in ancient Greek drama.
