Blank Verse
Introduced to England in the 16th century, blank verse consists of unrhymed lines of ten syllables each; with the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth syllables bearing the accents. This form can also be thought of as double iambic pentameter.
Blank verse is especially well-adapted to dramatic verse. Early masters of blank verse include Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, and John Milton.

(Rhymed) Couplet
A rhymed couplet consists of two successive lines of verse with similar end-rhymes. Both the grammatical structure and the idea of the rhymed couplet convey a sense of completion.
Three common types of couplets are: (1) a closed couplet, (2) an open couplet, and (3) a heroic couplet. The predominant couplet in English is the heroic couplet. This type of couplet consists of two rhyming lines of iambic pentameter with a pause, usually in the middle of each line.

(Rhymed) Stanza
A rhymed stanza is a division of a poem that consists of two or more lines arranged together as a unit. A stanza's group of lines are usually arranged around a recurring pattern of metrical length and sequence of rhyme. This structure is determined by the number of lines, the dominant meter, and the rhyme scheme.
