 Who Has Used Blank Verse In Their
Writing?
William Shakespeare wrote his entire play Hamlet in blank
verse form.
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural
shocks That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream.
 My poem
School sports will never be boring to me.

School food will always be nasty to me.

School activities will always be weird.

School classes will always be hard to me.

The high school bells will always annoy

me.

Some people will always irritate me.

Basketball will always be fun to me.
