  weak and weary
• Over many a quaint and curious volume of

  chamber door
• 'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my
  chamber door
• Only this and nothing more."

Blank 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.

Blank 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

Free 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.
