 It does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.

E.g. Walt Whitman's poetry

Falling out of love is like losing weight. It’s a lot easier putting it on than taking it off. (Aretha Franklin)

two lines of verse

Here's some types of this figure of speech:

tactile

visual

olfactory

gustatory

auditive

This is the basic repeating rhythmic unit that forms part of a line of verse in most Indo-European traditions of poetry

This figure of speech, from the Greek 'simultaneous meaning, used as a name for a character in a novel/film:

You better watch out,

You better not cry,

You better not pout

I’m telling you why

A fair field full of folk || found I there between,

Of all manner of men || the mean and the rich,

Working and wandering || as the world asketh.

In modern translation:

Among them I found a fair field full of people

All manner of men, the poor and the rich

Working and wandering as the world requires.

from the Greek, meaning "a change of name";

synecdoche is a type of this!

“Light My Fire” (The Doors)

What's the name of the red parts in both poems?

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red than her lips' red;

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damasked, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

  And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

  As any she belied with false compare.

When Love doth those sweet eyes to earth incline,

And weaves those wandering notes into a sigh

With his own touch, and leads a minstrelsy

Clear-voiced and pure, angelic and divine,—

He makes sweet havoc in this heart of mine,

And to my thoughts brings transformation high,

So that I say, “My time has come to die,

If fate so blest a death for me design.”

But to my soul, thus steeped in joy, the sound

Brings such a wish to keep that present heaven,

It holds my spirit back to earth as well.

And thus I live: and thus is loosed and wound

The thread of life which unto me was given

By this sole Siren who with us doth dwell.

Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

Which meter?

“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, / Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, / To the last syllable of recorded time; / And all our yesterdays have lighted fools.”

 a song or poem expressing sorrow or lamentation especially for one who is dead

... very much the tone of Emily Dickinson's poems; Ode on a Grecian Urn, to some extent

here are two examples of thistype of unit:

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,

The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,

The plowman homeward plods his weary way,

And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Double, double, toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.[5]

In terms of 'storyteling, what part of The Road Not Taken is this? 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Fame is a bee.

It has a sting—

Ah, too, it has a wing.
