Poetic foot (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iamb

'poetic foot' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for iamb that I've seen before include "Metrical unit" , "Line of verse" , "Short-long metric foot" , "Poet's foot" , "Metrical foot of one short, one long syllables" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, The Wall Street Journal, The Times, The New York Times and the Newsday.
