Blank Verse

Blank Verse : Blank verse is unrhymed poetry, and usually refers to poems written in iambic pentameter. The plays of William Shakespeare are written mostly in blank verse, as are many English epic and dramatic poems.

An example from Shakespeare’s Hamlet:

How all occasions do inform against me,
And spur my dull revenge! What is a man,
If his chief good and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
