Blank Verse

Blank Verse

This is my first attempt at blank verse
Don't expect a lot of content
It's a blank verse for goodness sakes
So the verbiage will be absent

How much of a clue do you really need
The verse is supposed to be blank
Do I really need to explain it any further
Don't wanna sound like a crank

Some may find this a little ridiculous
Trying something so bizarre
A poem that doesn't contain any words
Devoid of ABCs and Rs

I'm always game to try something new
It's my very first poem about nothing
Instead of a bunch of silly old verses
Bout lovemaking and passionate hugging

So what do you think of my first attempt
Did it make any sense to you
If it did, then my efforts were a total failure
So it's back to the quatrains, Magoo!

A verse of smoke can be for some people say something, a poem in white, even in the absence of words can convey some sense, a quiet verse can create excitement in some corner of our soul.

In the case of the poem by Jack isn't exactly a composition in blank because his verse tells us things, says Jack:

“Este es mi primer intento de escribir un verso en blanco, no esperes una gran cantidad de contenidos, es tan solo un verso en blanco por el bien de la bondad, y en el cual la palabrería está ausente”

To write a verse in white enough to let the mind released.

“-- -- ---, --- -- ------, -- -- ---, -- ---”

A hug.
