      An iambic foot is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. The rhythm can be written as:
      da DUM

      The da-DUM of a human heartbeat is the most common example of this rhythm.

      A line of iambic pentameter is five iambic feet in a row:
      da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM
