blank verse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'words' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'poetry with no' is the wordplay.
'poetry' becomes 'verse' (synonyms).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'no' becomes 'blank' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'verse' after 'blank' is 'BLANK VERSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for blank verse that I've seen is " Rhymeless poetry".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
