Both poems are written in free verse, which means there is free rhyme, that is, there is no rhyming scheme, and the meter is also free. This type of verse doesn't follow any metrical or rhyming rules.

free verse

Free verse is poetry that does not rhyme or have a specific meter. Neither poem rhymes or has meter. Rhyme is when the end words of a line has the same sound as another line. Meter is a rhythm. It's almost as though your could read the poem with a drum beat in the background. Neither has meter either. Blank verse has meter, but no rhyme. It's usually in iambic pentameter because it is more natural sounding. A sonnet is a specific poem structure with 14 lines, rhyme, and meter. A haiku is a poem about nature that has a set number of syllables per line.
