1. Blank verse is verse with no strict rhyme or meter scheme, so question 1 is a BAD question (tell your teacher) because it lacks information. The right answer must be (d), though, because although you can't be sure whether it will rhyme or not, it is in a traditional meter called "iambic pentameter".\n\n2. probably (c)\n\n3. probably (c)\n\nStinky old poem.

For most poems, any format works. Lets hear it for poetic liscense!\nFor easy readability, put quotes around words being said. You can also put one speaker in one font and the other in another, or by making one speaker right aligned and one left aligned if you have a word processor.

Yes, it has to do with the origin of the word.  English is a tough language to learn because there are so many exceptions to all the rules, words are not spelled like they sound, and there are so many words that sound the same but have different spellings.\n\nHere is a neat poem about the English language.\n\nWhen the English tongue we speak\nWhy is break not rhymed with freak?\nWill you tell me why it’s true\nWe say sew, but likewise few?\nAnd the maker of a verse,\nCannot rhyme his horse with worse?\nBeard is not the same as heard,\nCord is different from word,\nCow is cow, but low is low,\nShoe is never rhymed with foe.\nThink of hose and dose and lose,\nAnd think of goose and yet of choose,\nThink of comb and tomb and bomb,\nDoll and roll and home and some.\nAnd since pay is rhymed with say,\nWhy not paid with said I pray?\nThink of blood and food and good;\nMould is not pronounced like could.\nWherefore done, but gone and lone -\nIs there any reason known?\nTo sum up all, it seems to me\nSounds and letters don’t agree.

First think about something that makes you happy, or sad, then put it into as sentence. After that, think of a rhymining word for the last word or two words.\nBefore you know it you'll be writing a poem!

Fabulous idea.\n\nif i understood right you want to write a poem which expresses your man of dreams, in other words how you want the person you like to be. Its the best indirect message that can be given to a guy & might no hurt his pride\n\nPoem:\nthink of all the fun activities you would like to do\nthink of all the endearments you would like to hear\nplaces you would like to visit \n\nexpress in such a way that when one line potrays what you want to do, the next line shows how it would make you feel\n\nfor ex:\nseated in a bench with you beside\ni would feel more energized than if i were given a home in the moon to reside\n\nOne mere 'i love you my dear'\nfeels like i have traveled far & near\n\nemphasizing what you feel if given what you want will give enough hints for the guy to enact\n\nRemember you need not rhyme to make it sound like a poem. A poem takes its form when you express what you really feel

First of all, rhyme scheme is different than meter. \n\nHere's a scansion of the first stanza.\n/ stressed\n- unstressed\n\n/  -  /  -   /   -   /  \nI was angry with my friend: \n-   /   -   /     -  /     -   /\nI told my wrath, my wrath did end. \n/  -   /  -   /   -   /\nI was angry with my foe;\n-  /    -  /   -    /    -    /  \nI told it not, my wrath did grow. \n\nLines 1 and 3 are trochaic trimeter with a spondee at the end.\n\nLines 2 and 4 are iambic tetrameter\n\nIf you have problems deciphering meter, try the clap and pat method.  Pat your legs for unstressed, and clap for stressed syllables.  It's usually easier to work out that way.

poetry is writing in an arrangement of words in verse; especially, a rhythmical composition, sometimes rhymes, expressing facts, ideas or emotions in a style more concentrated, imaginative, and powerful than that of ordinary speech: some poems are in metre while others are in free verse.\n\nProse will be similar to that of ordinary people`s speech. A group of words that will be in paragraph which will be based on some cnetral theme.

in poems one can express any thought without giving it any bindings of any location... it is free just as the thought. but in stories u have to be specific.. abt several details... and that sometimes becomes tough to imagine.

It is sometimes said that the words orange, purple, and silver are the only words which rhyme with no other words. However, the words sporange, curple(another name for the buttocks), and chilver have been cited as rhymes for these words. That is not to say that there are no rhymeless words, however; there are in fact many, including such words as marathon and discombobulate. If one restricts the list to words of just one or two syllables, however, the list is fairly short. What follows is an attempt at such a list...

The best way to learn to rhyme,\nis go out to the streets and commit a crime.\nThen suddenly it will all come to your head,\nand you ll be able to rhyme by the time you go to bed.\nOh Lord give my friend this graceful skill\nOr else I ll never come to work again...I ll be \npretending that I m ill.
