Explanation

Blank verse is specifically unrhymed iambic pentameter. Unlike rhymed poetry, blank verse maintains a regular metrical pattern but does not employ rhyme schemes. This distinguishes it from free verse, which lacks both rhyme and consistent meter, and from sonnets or rhymed couplets, which use rhyme extensively.
