  Iambic - LoveToKnow 1911
IAMBIC, the term employed in prosody to denote a succession of verses, each consisting of a foot or metre called an iambus (lap00s), formed of two syllables, of which the first is short and the second long (,-, -).
The normal blank verse in English is founded upon an iambic basis, and Milton's line And swims or sinks J or wades or creeps or flies exhibits it in its primitive form.
The ordinary alexandrine of French literature is a hexapod iambic, but in all questions of quantity in modern prosody great care has to be exercised to recollect that all ascriptions of classic names to modern forms of rhymed or blank verse are merely approximate.

In fact, the skillful variation of iambic pentameter, rather than the consistent use of it, may well be what distinguishes the rhythmic artistry of poets like Donne, Shakespeare, Milton, and the 20th century sonneteer Edna St. Vincent Millay.

 Greek meter metrics  iambic trimeter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It makes sense to take up the iambic trimeter after studying the dactylic hexameter, for the trimeter is somewhat more complicated, primarily due to the resolution of long (and even short!) into two shorts.
The iambic trimeter is most common in those portions of Greek tragedy (and comedy) that involve rheseis (speeches) and stichomythia (line-by-line dialogue or even line-within-line repartee [ἀντιλαβή]).
The iambic trimeter (and tetrameter) also appears in slightly different forms in other types of ancient Greek verse, notably lyric poetry, but we shall take those up a later point.

So, although iambic is entitled to link to whomever they desire on their own web site, this link removal seems like a petty attempt to get even with a company that merely expressed disappointment in a very courteous manner.

 Latin Meter: Iambic
There are a variety of Latin iambic verse meters, and one of the most common and most important for Latin poetry is the iambic senarius, or the 6-foot iamb, also called iambic trimeter.
In this representation of the iambic senarius (iambic trimeter), the X represents the anceps, and the L a long element.
So, my advice to you when reading iambic poetry is simply to sit back and enjoy listening to it for a while before you begin attempting to scan lines of iambic verse for yourself.

An iamb (the adjective is "iambic") is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.
Because each foot consists of two syllables, the iambic is known as a duple meter.
Note that you can distinguish iambic from trochaic meter only by examining the first and last feet in a verse, since they both alternate stressed and unstressed syllables.

 The UVic Writer's Guide: Meter
Poetry is organized by the division of each line of verse into "feet," metric units which each consist of a particular arrangement of strong and weak stresses.
The most common metric unit is the iambic foot, in which an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed one (as in the words "revrse" and "comp˜se").
A line with five feet is called pentameter; thus, a line of five iambs is known as "iambic pentameter" (the most common metrical form in English poetry).
