Blank verse is a literary device defined as un-rhyming verse written in iambic pentameter. In poetry and prose, it has a consistent meter with 10 syllables in each line (pentameter); where, unstressed syllables are followed by stressed ones, five of which are stressed but do not rhyme.
A good example would be:
Furball Friend
Sweet pet by day, hunter by night. She sleeps, she eats, she plays. My feet, caught in white paws.She’s up the fence, watching her prey - a bird.Poor thing, better run quick, ’cause watch, she’ll pounce!She’ll sweetly beg for fuss, but don’t be fooled. ’Cause one minute she’ll purr and smile, then snap!She’ll spit and hiss - and oh - surprise! A mouse.He’s dead. A gift. Retracts her claws. Miaow!Figure of eight between my legs, looks upat me and purrs. The sound pulls my heartstrings.Her big blue eyes like dinner plates - so cute.Cunning she is, she knows I can’t resist.Curling up tight, we sleep entwined as one.Despite her quirks, I would not change a claw of her. Cheeky Sammy: my snow-white queen.
