Poetry scheme/Techniques - question

[chagrin]

Lyrics from a song but what scheme/technique of poetry is this, or is it a scheme ro technique at all?

a man in my shoes runs a light, and all the papers lie tonight
but falling for you is the news of the day

[Fire Me Boy!]

Rhyming?

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I was a creative writting minor... I should know this. However I'm apparently a loser.

Rhyming?

Haha - a dude here at work is asking about it and I have no idea, just thought I'd put it out there

Heh, keep thinking!

I'll assume that the next few lines follow the same rhythm...


and then say, I don't think it has a name - there are some names for following a preset rhythm, like the Haiku (based soley on the syllable count)

Making your own rhythm and/or syllable and/or rhyming verse is part of the artistic expression.

just a lyric...no formal rhyme scheme

[chagrin]

just a lyric...no formal rhyme scheme

Thank you

[crazycoffey]

Thank you

well, I said basically the same thing....

It's sort of a shortened rubaiyat, but not really. I think you would need more of the lyric to figure it out.

I don't know what you would call it other than "free verse".
