- from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
-
- Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered,
weak and weary - Over many a quaint and curious volume of
forgotten lore - While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there
came a tapping, - As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my
chamber door - 'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my
chamber door - Only this and nothing more."

6Blank verse and free verse
FREE VERSE Poetry that does not have a regular
meter or rhyme scheme. Poets writing in free
verse try to capture the natural rhythms of
ordinary speech. To create its music, free
verse may use internal rhyme, alliteration,
onomatopoeia, refrain, and parallel structure.
Free verse does not mean rhyme cannot be used,
only that it must be used without any pattern
- BLANK VERSE Poetry that does not have a set
rhyme scheme but does follow a set meter. -
- Blank means the poetry is not rhymed.
- It is the major verse form used in Shakespeares
plays.
7Blank Verse example
- from William Shakespeares Romeo and
Juliet...bid me leap, rather than marry
Paris,From off the battlements of yonder
towerOr walk in thievish ways or bid me
lurkWhere serpents are chain me with roaring
bearsOr shut me nightly in a charnel-house,Oer
covered quite with dead mens rattling
bones,With reeky shanks and yellow chapless
skullsOr bid me go into a new-made grave,And
hide me with a dead man and his shroud
8Free VerseExamples
Free verse with rhyme The Storm
by Vivian Gilbert ZabelLightning strikes as
thunder roarsSending war across the
skies.Blackness blankets light of nightExcept
when fire flashes bright,Blinding eyes to truth,
to right.Tears of agony rain from irate
clouds,Which smother joy, bringing moansOf
pain, despair, distress,Leaving open bleeding
soresThat never can be healedUntil the battle
endsWith Gods peace revealed. Note although
rhyme is used, there is no rhyme scheme (or
pattern).
- Free verse
- From Miltons "Samson Agonistes"But patience is
more oft the exerciseOf Saints, the trial of
their fortitude,Making them each his own
Deliver,And Victor over allThat tyranny or
fortune can inflict.From Walt Whitmans
"Leaves of Grass"All truths wait in all
things,They neither hasten their own delivery
nor resist it,They do not need the obstetric
forceps of the surgeon.
