Nan I don't know if this is what you had in mind but in lieu of no outline here is my version of blank verse. You are the last; The very last; A reminder of days gone by when nobility reigned and justice was sought with wisdom. O Knight of power stay awhile just a while show us hope show us chivalry remind us of our humanity that was closer to God because of you. You are the last; The very last; But because you remain the world is softer brighter more in tune with the true nature of knighthood. O knight of wonder bide with us, until your time is done and you must move on to make another place a darker place awash with your brilliance. For you are the last; The very last. Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

I think what you wrote is a free verse Kethry, but a great one!  Here are 2 links to learn more about blank verse: http://members.aol.com/lucyhardng/pointers/form7.htm#top http://shoga.wwa.com/~rgs/gl-b.html I'm sure Nan will post more information soon.  Will I be able to write without rhyme? |

Shadydaze, there you go Munda has answered for me. Munda, I think you are right, blank verse is more structured. The lack of rhyme thing bothers me too. I guess I have to learn to be more patient and wait for the instructions, but I am a kind of - if all else fails read the instructions - type of person lol.

Great free verse, Keth... Blank verse is indeed unrhymed - That's a problem for me too, but I'll try... I've posted the guidelines now... I love it when you guys start without me...  |

Kethry , I gotta agree with you on the directions part ( they're all written by aliens anyway ) , except Nan's directions ( I think she may be ok ) . I liked this . Wrote two myself but didn't post . Not rhyming for me is definately a problem ( dropped on head call me Fred rhyme until I'm almost dead ). Now I'll have to re-write just to see if I can get one right . Doc |
