Beautiful poetic words touch our hearts, yes!
Great verse, fills the space between all of us.
We might be weeping but words can heal us.
Thus lifted to moonlit poetic portals.
Mean words of destruction to our fellow man?
Stop now, you can do better my dear friend.
Join the planet, unify, heal the world.
Love be yours in this worlwide, poetic send.

(Unrhymed iambic pentameter)
(Ten syllables per line)
I wanted to pen a blank verse poem,
that has no rhyme and that was fine;
my problem is- iambic pentameter,
for . . I do not go ba boom ba boom,
I know about feet- no problem there;
it's the missing beat- the heart beat,
so- I penned you this perfect box.

I never know which way to turn per se
Enhanced emotions flooding to the top
My lifestyle once was simpler than it's now
Gone are those years of equilibrium
Shades of the night now blending into day
Those tears for joy now stranger to my cheek
I shuffle while the world moves on full speed
Fading faces giving advice to heed
But I have only feet for regret street
Down on the boulevard of broken dreams
"Hope is a wickless candle" I once read
Though I must hold hope closely to my heart
With faith for me to be the air to breathe
For life without both is a shallow pond
Imagine if you will a fishless sea
A birdless sky, a world animal scarce

(Iambic pentameter)
Trapped in my own thoughts
Years have passed by as I still writhe in pain,
Grief nibbles slowly of my deep inside,
Hunting joy in pool of negative thoughts,
succumb to my own false perceptions.
Melody seems to lose to dissonance,
Altruism read as animosity,
Nurturer confounded as assassin,
Creator misconstrued nefarious.
Waiting to be rescued in murky night,
Yet not wanting to trust visibly kind,
Thrown further in centre of the whirlpool,
I swirl fast to rest on tranquil seabed.

For "Blank verse" contest by Janice
Written in iambic pentameter
Promises
Your promises that I had all trust in
lay quiet as logs of unbreathing woods,
Till wantings of my soul rose as fierce storms
to impute life into the forgotten,
Today you walk with me in moonlit night
as longings lay absolutely tranquil.

In Iambic pentameter
For contest by John Lawless
She clutched a glimpse of blinking reverie
yet now, through stardust flushing out the light
it slid, languished; washed by the grains of time
on pathways where love had been slashed in half
unearthing all the weeds of cycles bleak.
From thinning mists that hang on her dim eyes
the finest consolations from his leave
were comfort, songs and roots of joy well glazed;
and though a dull heart bore as twilight fell
she prayed their charmed flames would ignite; again.
Heather Ober's 10 Lines Contest
* Blank verse, not to be confused
with free verse, has a set metrical pattern.
It is traditionally written in iambic pentameter,
unryhmed.
