A lot of free-writing poetry doesn't have rhyme schemes.
Additional answer:
Here are some examples: Free verse, which uses speech patterns rather than rhyme or meter; Diamante, Cinquain, Haiku, and Tanka poems follow line patterns. Acrostic poems are written vertically with each letter starting each line. In Object poems the writer brainstorms a list of words and incorporates as many as possible into the poem. Blank verse uses meter and no rhyme. Imagery poem help the reader visualize the subject in the poem (the Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams is an excellent example. Epic Poems, such as The Odyssey and The Iliad are long narratives of the hero's journey. And Verse Novels, are a combination of poetry and narrative writing.
