POETRY FORMS: Blank Verse - by Ann
A type of poetry that has influenced the craft for centuries is Blank Verse. This form has a regular meter, but no rhyme. Often, iambic pentameter is the form that is used in many 20th century poems, although its origin dates back to the 1500s. First, here are a few definitions before you get started.
Meter – Basic rhythmic structure of a line with 'feet' or sequence of stressed and unstressed syllables alternating in a particular order.
Rhyme – Repetition of sounds in a sequence of words (tree, free). Often used at the end of lines of poetry.
Iambic Pentameter – A series of 10 syllables in the order of unstressed/stressed syllables or 5 sets of unstressed and stressed syllables. For example from Romeo and Juliet:
"That thou her maid art far more fair than she"
Blue is the unstressed syllable
Red is the stressed syllable
Robert Frost's poems are famous for his use of this form. His poem "The Road Not Taken” illustrates the use of iambic pentameter in a variety of ways. Shakespeare was very fond of this form and nearly all his plays utilized iambic pentameter. Research their work and give blank verse a try!

First, Creative-Poems will be transitioning to a faster server during the last week of March. Be aware that this may entail some brief interruption of service. We'll post the time and date of the transition in the Forum as soon as possible. Should you notice errors when the sites is up, please let us know in the "Site Bugs" Forum. We appreciate your patience as we improve site infrastructure.
Second, please be aware our staff continues to emphase our site's requirement for proper credit to all sources of links and digital articles in poems and profiles. This includes current and older works. For example, if you link to photos, you must name the photographer whose work you are using. If you use MIDI's, audio, or video files produced by others, you must identify the author and copyright owner. There is a Forum update outlining new requirements right here. This issue has become increasingly important and lawsuits have recently forced some rather large and popular sites to adopt stricter requirements. Here at Creative-Poems, we have a tradition of requiring proper citations. This affects all submissions with immediate effect, meaning that all your material should be put it into compliance by May 31st. Non-compliances are subject to removal. If you need assistance, please notify a Moderator or Administrator. Violations are considered plagiarism and are taken very seriously here. Do your part to ensure compliance of your site.
Third, if you're here as our guest, we invite you to try a trial membership. There's a lot more to our site than you see. Post your own poems, receive feedback, share your feelings and comments with other members, and participate in our site events. Click right here for features and more information.

Second, is our huge honor to thank both Sandy Hradil and Sherri Emily for their permission to use their wonderful SIG image libraries.
These are pre-loaded images within our site that you may link to and use on our pages. Although you are not required to in this case, it's good practice to show your appreciation to them as you should any other artists, by including their names in your "About" section.
Third, with regret I announce the resignation of Barbara Demasson . Barbara has worked hard as your Assistant Administrator for over a year. A tireless worker, one who always stepped up to the plate to give her full contribution. Barbara has served her term and now wishes to get back to her wonderful writing. This is a taxing position, folks, and we can only ask just so much of our best writers before they deserve a chance to rest and just enjoy the poetry that brought us all here. Creative-Poems.com owes her a tremendous debt of gratitude. Join me in thanking her!
Fourth, be aware the Terms of Service Agreement (TOS) has been revised.
Users are required to identify the owner of any content (including, text, lyrics, poetry, images, or music) they type, link to, or upload to our website. In the latter case, they must also prove they have the permission of the owner. This information goes in the "About" area. This applies to new and old work. This is a condition of Service.
Users of images within the SIG's of Sandy Hradil or Sherri Emily are, of course, exempt from this condition as they have granted our users permission to use their work here. We would encourage you to thank them anyway in your "About".
Don't wait to comply, particularly if a large number of items are involved. New work will be screened closely for violations and warnings will be issued. Ultimately, accounts will be at risk of suspension for non-compliance. Treat other artists as you would wish them to treat you. Check the Forum for additional discussion.
Fifth and finally, Gold Dust Magazine is looking for submissions into their 2006 Calendar.
All are encouraged to send worthy news to Administration! |
