Here are some common meters in English poetry:
* Iambic pentameter: A line of five metrical feet, each consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (da-DUM). This is the most common meter in English poetry, particularly Shakespearean sonnets.
* Trochaic tetrameter: A line of four metrical feet, each consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable (DUM-da).
* Anapestic trimeter: A line of three metrical feet, each consisting of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable (da-da-DUM).
* Dactylic hexameter: A line of six metrical feet, each consisting of a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables (DUM-da-da).
Meter can be used to create different effects in poetry, such as a sense of rhythm, movement, or emphasis.
