Indecision
In a well known restaurant three persons
occupied a table for business lunch.
They pour over a menu trying to
just figure out what they're going to have,
desperately asking the waiter what
are ingredients of items mentioned
in menu to place order. Waiter gives
his opinion and order for lunch placed.
Yet, appeared unsatisfied. We do come
across such incident. Oddly, we find
ourselves making small decisions much more
complicated than they need to be, yet
we put so much thought into it. Suffer
from indecision, that's a decision.

The Blank Verse Sonnet is simply a sonnet written in Blank Verse.
It has all of the features of the sonnet without rhyme.
Although Blank Verse is often used in narratives,
it can also adapt to the lyrical sonnet.
Blank verse is a strophic sonnet in iambic pentameter.
Sonnets without rhyme can be traced back to Edmund Spenser.
The elements of the Blank Verse Sonnet are:
1. Metric, written iambic pentameter.
In English most sonnets are written in iambic pentameter but there are some that occasionally stray from the norm.
To metrically stray is not an option with the Blank Verse Sonnet.
2. Unrhymed.
3. A quatorzain with no stanza breaks.
4. Composed with a pivot or turn which logically
arrives in the 2nd half of the sonnet.
