Monometer

In poetry, a monometre is a line of verse with just one metrical foot.

Example

Monometer can be exemplified by this portion of Robert Herrick's poem "Upon His Departure Hence":[1]

Thus I
Passe by,
And die:
As one,
Unknown,
And gone.

gollark: They did earlier.
gollark: Because they have been erased from knowledge.
gollark: The most persecuted religions are the ones you don't know about.
gollark: What if I become God too?
gollark: Since I might dispose of all those who did earlier.
