    		Do you, by any chance, mean "What type of poetry has lines that do not rhyme?"

    If so, then you may be looking for "blank verse":

    		You could have prose that rhymed, but it would be rather peculiar. I'm just reminded of M. Jourdain and how excited he was when he discovered he'd been speaking Prose all his life and hadn't known it.
