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 New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, the Universal and the Penny Press.
