Meter in poetry refers to the rhythmic structure of verses, determined by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables. The most common types include iambic (unstressed-stressed), trochaic (stressed-unstressed), anapestic (unstressed-unstressed-stressed), and dactylic (stressed-unstressed-unstressed). Additionally, there are variations like spondees (stressed-stressed) and pyrrhic (unstressed-unstressed). Meter can also be categorized by the number of feet per line, such as monometer, dimeter, trimester, tetrameter, pentameter, and so on.
