Is くれ the short form for くれる?
What do you mean by short form? Usually that's another name for 辞書形｛じしょけい｝ or
the 'dictionary form', which くれる already is in itself. It's not an
abbreviation, either; rather くれ is the irregular 命令形｛めいれいけい｝ 'imperative' of
くれる. It's a little lighter as a command than 「ペンを貸せ」 would be, but not so much
as 貸して or 貸してください
