A good introduction courtesy of the blog Interesting Literature, on the origins of blank verse. The post explains that blank verse was invented by the Earl of Surrey, and explores the differences between blank and free verse, blank verse being closest to everyday speech.

Shall I compose
In free
Verse? (which is still poetry),
Or write in prose?
And where does poetry
Begin, and prose
Come to an end?
Please tell me,
My literary friend!
Cultivated people unwind.
Literature may take
Us to unknown realms.
Every book, must end.
Verdant flowers.
Lovers under a tree
Taste fruit.
Unnoticed, a serpent slithers.
