Explanation

Blank verse is characterized by unrhymed iambic pentameter, meaning it follows the rhythmic pattern of five pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables per line but does not include rhyme. This distinguishes it from rhymed forms such as couplets or sonnets, and from free verse which lacks a regular meter.
