The Ball Poem by John Berryman
What is the boy now, who has lost his ball,

Merrily bouncing, down the street, and then
Merrily over-there it is in the water!

Blank verse is unrhymed verse typically in iambic pentameter. It is commonly used in English poetry and drama, including works by Shakespeare and Milton. The lack of rhyme scheme in blank verse allows for a more natural and conversational flow of speech.
