An iamb is a metrical foot in poetry consisting of two syllables: the first is unstressed and the second is stressed, creating a rhythm that mimics natural speech. It is commonly used in English verse, particularly in iambic pentameter, which features five iambs per line. This rhythmic pattern contributes to the musical quality of poetry and is often found in the works of Shakespeare and other classic poets. Understanding iambs helps students analyze and appreciate the structure and sound of poetry.
