    How many can you think of? :D

    Such fun... :hat:

    EG.
    Island
    Laura
    Cigar
    Forget
    Baby...

    I wouldn't be asking if I didn't really want to know... I really want to know :(

    Iamb: short syllable followed by a long syllable. Stressed followed by an unstressed :D

    i'd rather think of lambs than iambs, as they are far more delicious

    I think dowload is one! :D

    Most of the ones I do have are your ideas anyway :p

    - Batter
    ....

    That's all I have for now :eek:

    I've been looking at sonnets and a lot of them are two words to make an iamb. For example:
    - My heart
    - To mend
    - But knock
    - May rise


    :confused:

    potroast<lamb
    meatloaf<lamb
    lobster<lamb
    bacon<lamb
    chicken<lamb
    burger<lamb

    good luck finding an iambic food which is actually more delicious than lamb, cause it would definitely be hard to do. lamb is just about the best meat there is, and as meat is one of the most delicious types of food it will be hard to beat lamb.

    okay, i'll grant you that one, but only because its just that delicious. its not a food, though, as much as one may enjoy eating it....

    and prime rib may be comparable, but at least in my opinion, lamb still wins.

    i'm pretty sure any 2 syllables can be an iamb if you want them to be...

    in poetry, it's not at all unusual to pronounce a word differently from how it's normally pronounced, in order to help the flow and rhyme scheme.
