How to use "Iambic" in context?
What Is an iambic?
An iamb is a type of rhythm in poetry and prose. Iambic rhythm is where one line equals two beats. When the iambs clash, they create a "ping" sound. This is similar to the sound produced when someone drops a spoon.
The name "iamb" comes from the ancient Greek word "iembus," which means "two." The ancients used this rhythm to describe the Double heartbeat of the gods.
Iambic rhythm can be found in the poetry of Homer and other classical authors.
