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).
A metrical unit composed of stressed and unstressed syllables. For example, an iamb or iambic foot is represented by Ë ' , that is, an unaccented syllable followed by an accented one. Frost's line Whose woods these are I think I know contains four iambs, and is thus an iambic foot.
