Blank Verse About Why I Don’t Really Like Blank Verse

‘Tis time to try my hand at writing verse
The kind that lacks a rhyme but still attempts
A rhythmic beat maintained by counting sounds
A form as prevalent as it is dull

Iambic pentameter without rhyme
Might be akin to cake without icing
Or birthdays without any cake at all
Perhaps as bad as birthdays on work days

Free verse lacks rhyme sometimes but has few rules
You can write anything you like with it
Blank verse is less free and often boring
It’s why I hated poetry at school

Though teachers often would (perhaps still do
You’d think I’d know for I work in a school)
Compare blank verse to rap to make it cool
Although they failed to be that convincing

Still my recent quest to write poetry
About different types of poetry
Would not have been complete without blank verse
Even though blank verse is quite hard to like
