[Bards] Need help with formats

[ED Reese]

Could I send you a SASE for the handout? These questions are pertinent to a piece I'm working on now. :-)
 
I will certainly find you at the next event we're both at. :-) Thank you!

Blank verse is unrhymed verse.  Shakespeare's plays are (mostly) written in it, as were many other of the period.  Most Elizabethan blank verse is iambic pentameter.  (Five feet per line whose basic rhythm is iambic.)

Come up to me at an event some time, and I'll hand you the handout from my class.  It includes Cedric's "The Birth of Fame", a Saxon-style alliterative verse patterned on "The Battle of Maldon".  It includes his documentation, which tells you how to do it.
 
Also, find Master Ulf sometime.  He knows a great deal about it.
