Guys, im going to write an epic poem in (loose) blank verse. I dont have any delusions of what it will bring me. It's purely a hobby, and i dont intend to try to publish.

My question: What should it be about? I'd love to write something about the everyday, have store clerks and walking to school and work be a part of it, but i know that's been done before. I think it would be cool to make this fantasy novel i planned out in middle school the focus of it (i have books and books filled with ideas, which are of course awful, but a lot of it is at least salvageable or easily fixed with whatever postmodern wizardry i can attempt to conjure).

Give me some ideas. I'm open to anything.

You're not going to write poem, you're not going to do anything. You will no utilize any of the ideas given, nor would they be worth anything if you did.

I don't see the point of blank verse. You may as well be writing prose.

If it doesn't rhyme it might as well be prose?

Isn't blank verse always iambic pentameter?

it generally is, but nothing would stop someone from writing blank verse in any other metre and it still being blank verse

Wait so what is blank verse then? Anything unrhymed?

I assumed iambic pentameter was its single defining feature.

any uniform pentameter (iambic is the only reasonable one to write in for an extended work in english).

It's verse bound in meter with no rhyme pattern.

sprung meter is the way to go if you can handle it.

Technically it's just unrhymed verse, but it's almost always iambic pentameter
