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