Explanation:
An iambic meter refers to lines of poetry containing iambs. An iamb is a metrical foot (a group of two or three syllables) that has one UNSTRESSED syllable followed by a STRESSED syllable. For example, the word <em>remark</em> is an example of an iamb because <em>re</em> is an unstressed syllable and <em>mark</em> is a stressed syllable, that is to say, it is pronounced louder, with more emphasis.
Other examples of iamb are <em>belong, destroy, delay, portray, describe and attain.</em>
