Rhyming Couplets:
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky.

Things as simple as that can be rhyming couplets.
Couplet: noun. 1. A pair of successive lines of verse, especially a pair that rhyme and are the same length. -Dictionary. Com

Twinkle Twinkle little star also continues like this: " Then the traveler in the dark thanks you for your tiny spark, How could he see where to go if you did not twinkle so?"

Free verse:
Reminder: I was not happy with the rain until my eye caught five wet leaves-
A mysterious Autumn water gift here on this broken road.

Free verse: noun. Verse that does not follow a fixed pattern. -Dictionary.com

Free verse is written without rhyme, rhythm or specific structure, and it evens sounds conversational, but there is still imagination and careful use of words inside of it.

Night Lights
Moon rises and it is night.
If you look at the city you see some light.
The moon stares down at land, the water, city, and sand. As Night comes to an end, and dark versus light starts to trend, then you see the bright sun's light,
And you realize there is no more moon so bright.
