This means it consists of lines of five feet, each foot being iambic, meaning two syllables long, one stressed followed by an unstressed. The Structure of a Blank Verse Poem five feet of iambic syllables - sounds like this du DUM du DUM du DUM du DUM du DUM each foot making the verse sound like it has heart beat rhythm. An Example of a Blank Verse Poem Furball Friend Sweet pet by day, hunter by night. She sleeps, she eats, she plays. My feet, caught in white paws. She’s up the fence, watching her prey - a bird. Poor thing, better run quick, ’cause watch, she’ll pounce! She’ll sweetly beg for fuss, but don’t be fooled. ’Cause one minute she’ll purr and smile, then snap!
