Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

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 dialogue 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!

Guru Jad February 23, 2013 at 1:08 PM You versed the blank in a quatrain form, A deed that surpassed the usual norm - Did you fail? I highly doubt you would ever fail; A King like you scrutinizing a style in detail! Loved this piece! Jack Ellison February 23, 2013 at 1:45 PM Just having some fun literally interpreting the word "blank" in blank verse! LOL Forgive my silliness! LOL Cheers my friend!

What a pleasantly wondrous piece, Great Work!! Jack Ellison February 18, 2013 at 7:38 PM I tried to leave this blank but by telling you that, it's not blank! LOL I'm confused!

Carol Eastman February 18, 2013 at 8:51 AM Is it anything like "This page was intentionally left blank?... Always one of my best forms! LOL Jack Ellison February 18, 2013 at 11:07 AM I have nothing to say... it's a "Blank Reply" LOL Hugs!

Toquyen Harrell February 18, 2013 at 6:29 AM Lol, do like Richard - He tries all the forms :). Just kidding. I like yours in this form anyway. I like free verse. I write it for content and not so much for form. I think everyone of us has a favorite form of what we like :) Jack Ellison February 18, 2013 at 11:06 AM Richard has tried or will try just about every form there is! LOL He calls me the Quatrain King! LOL
