Blank verse is a form of poetry that is written with regular meter but without rhyme. It is usually written in iambic pentameter, which is a line of verse consisting of five metrical feet, each foot containing an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Blank verse is considered the closest to English speech patterns and is the predominant rhythm of traditional English dramatic and epic poetry
. Examples of blank verse can be found in works such as John Milton's Paradise Lost, Robert Browning's dramatic monologues, and Wallace Stevens's "Sunday Morning"
