To write meter in short form, use a combination of letters and numbers that represent the type and number of feet in a line of poetry. For example, "iambic pentameter" can be abbreviated as "iamb. pent." where "iamb" signifies the foot and "pent" denotes five feet. Common abbreviations include "iamb" for iambic, "troch" for trochaic, "anap" for anapestic, and "dact" for dactylic. Additionally, you can indicate the number of feet with terms like "tetrameter" (four feet) or "hexameter" (six feet).
