The correct answer is free verse.

Free verse is any poem that doesn't rhyme, and that doesn't have a regular meter. Rhyming couplets consist of groups of two lines whose ending words rhyme, iambic pentameter (the kind of rhyming that Shakespeare used) has 10 syllables per line that deal with stressed and unstressed syllables, and haikus are poems of three lines with 5, 7, and 5 syllables, respectively.
