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 consisting of one unaccented syllable followed by one accented syllable (for example, 're-hearse' or 'be-tween' ), So, an iamb is comprised of two syllables. The ic part just makes it an adjective. Meter is regularized rhythm where the accented syllables occur at equal intervals.
