Read the excerpt from T.S. Eliot’s "Preludes." Which form of poetry is used? The winter evening settles down With smell of steaks in passageways. Six o’clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days. And now a gusty shower wraps The grimy scraps Of withered leaves about your feet And newspapers from vacant lots; The showers beat On broken blinds and chimney-pots, And at the corner of the street A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. And then the lighting of the lamps. fixed form closed form free verse blank verse NextReset

This excerpt is written mostly in blank verse. Even though some lines rhyme with each other, there is no consistent rhyme pattern or scheme. 
Almost all of the lines contain the same iambic (alternating unstressed/stressed syllables) rhythm, with the exception of line 3.
