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: You sedenion.
gollark: Quaternion you.
gollark: nö ü
gollark: I'm such a moderator that I don't need a *role* to prove it.
gollark: I'm the real mod.
