iamb
iamb is a metric foot
At the risk of sounding stupid, how can you have a metric foot?! Isn't that like an "imperial centimetre". I don't get it.
squarebear, tyrepill's choice of words was rather misleading. I almost commented on it at the time.

FOOT has another meaning as a subdivision of a line of poetry. Metric here is not referring to the metric system, but to the 'measure' of the line of poetry as in long and short syllables

eg
di dah di dah di dah dah
di dah di dah di dah
Ah fair enough. Thanks for explaining. I guess you learn something new everyday.
