| | Poem Online Poetry Community - 2002 Fall Workshop #1--Blank Verse |
| | I find blank verse makes my own poems long winded, the meter drives me to keep writing, and I feel a narrative voice emerging that I don't feel in a shorter-lined poem. | | | Marlowe's "mighty line," which demonstrated blank verse's range and flexibility, made blank verse the standard for many English writers, including both Shakespeare and Milton, and it remained a very practiced form up until the twentieth century when Modernism rebelled and openly experimented with the tradition. | | | Topic: 2002 Fall Workshop #1--Blank Verse (Read 457 times) |

| | I also began to marvel at the poetic impetus that induced so many writers to shape their stories into narrative verse, combining the art of storytelling with the ability to construct an arresting work within the constraints of rhyme, meter, and verse. | | | In this self-study tutorial we will examine the characteristics that distinguish narrative verse -- a poem that tells a story -- from prose. | | | The reader will examine objectively examples of narrative verse and will understand the effect of time and changing styles on the character, though not the inherent nature, of this type of literature. |

| | A Study of Poetry - Chapter VIII (By Bliss Perry) |
| | Many passages in narrative and dramatic verse, for instance, while fulfilling their primary function of telling a story or throwing characters into action, are colored by what we have called the lyric quality, by that passionate, personal feeling whose natural mode of expression is in song. | | | Many minor species of narrative poetry, like verse satire and allegory, are often composed in traditional lyric patterns. | | | Certainly the blank verse of Wordsworth’s “Michael” is far different in its musical values from the blank verse, say, of Tennyson’s Princess–perhaps truly as different as the metre of Sigurd the Volsung is from that of The Rape of the Lock. |

| | Following shortly afterwards, Alfred Lord Tennyson became particularly devoted to blank verse, using it for example in his long narrative poem "The Princess", as well as for one of his most famous poems: "Ulysses". | | | Shakespeare also used enjambment increasingly often in his verse, and in his last plays was given to using feminine endings (in which the last syllable of the line is unstressed, for instance lines 3 and 6 of the example); all of this made his later blank verse extremely rich and varied. | | | After Milton (in fact, during his later life), blank verse went out of fashion and for a century and a half the favored verse form in English was that of couplets. |

| | Blank verse has been called the most "natural" verse form for dramatic works, since it supposedly is the verse form most close to natural rhythms of English speech, and it has been the primary verse form of English drama and narrative poetry since the mid-Sixteenth Century. | | | Blank verse or unrhymed iambic pentameter, which was widely used by Milton and Shakespeare in their poetry is the most popular form of poetry in English, probably because English language naturally falls in an iambic pattern and therefore it sounds very rhythmic and natural. | | | Blank Verse, so called due to the absolute he absence of the rhyme which the ear expects at the end of successive lines, is the unrhymed measure of iambic decasyllable in five beats which is usually adopted in English epic and dramatic poetry. |

| | Some narrative poetry takes the form of a novel in verse. | | | Many scholars of Homer, from Quintus Smyrnaeus forward, have concluded that his tales of the Iliad and Odyssey were composed from compilations of shorter narrative poems that related individual episodes, and which were more suitable for an evening's entertainment. | | | Narrative poetry is among the oldest, and perhaps the oldest, genre of poetry. |

| | The narrative mode is probably the most straightforward of the common song forms — a verse is in the narrative mode if its main point is to tell a story. | | | A useful way of thinking about the mode of a verse, for our purposes, is as a description in general terms of its purpose — what that verse is meant to 'do'. | | | Third-person narrative, by contrast, does not necessarily imply any connection between the narrator and what is being described: the narrator is simply passing on information, with no implied character of his or her own and no involvement in events. |
