What other generators do
Asked for blank verse, most generators return either rhymed couplets or prose with line breaks. Iambic pentameter is the rule they're least likely to actually follow.

The form
The anatomy of blank verse
Unrhymed iambic pentameter. The English language's natural blank canvas for serious thought.
Ten syllables per line, alternating stress
Iambic pentameter: da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM.
No end-rhymes
Unrhymed. Lines stand on their meter alone.
Enjambment carries sense across lines
End-stopping every line is the cardinal sin — let the syntax run.
Variable length
Eight to thirty lines in our generator — short enough to control, long enough to develop.
Note · Our generator enforces ~10 syllables per line (±1 tolerance) and requires unrhymed end-words.
Tradition
Earl of Surrey introduced blank verse to English in his translation of Virgil's Aeneid (1540s). Shakespeare made it the spine of his plays; Milton scaled it to epic in Paradise Lost.
Blank verse rewards conversational rhythm. If every line is end-stopped, the form feels like a metronome.

Storgy · What we do
We instruct strict 10-syllable lines and verify with the syllable counter. Slant-rhymes that sneak in are flagged so you can regenerate or hand-edit.
