There reallt isn't one. Take, for instance, the Japanese Haibun, a development of the haiku into a structure more like prose.

>free verse and prose
fuck nvm

Free verse is a meme invented by Anglo trash to compensate for ugliness and rigidity of their barbaric tongue. Avoid at all costs unless you genuinely lack talent.

Verse libre was invented by the French...

>free verse has no pattern
Are you retarded? Free verse is poetry because it has poetic rhythm and aims for something more than prose. Free verse's patterns just aren't as strict as "metrical" prose.

You might as well prescribe what colors should go where on a canvas and get confused that some painters think that they should be able to use red on the top left side of the canvas.

Free verse is just prose with stupid formatting.

Free verse may or may not have any sort of rhythm or pattern. These days it's almost always entirely free of any attempts at technical lyricism. In theory it's still supposed to qualify as "poetry" due to the ideas being artistically expressed but this is thought of subjectively enough that it's often nothing more than an excuse to write a paragraph or two of what are really just sentence fragments and enjamb them enough for it to look like "poetry" if you just look at how the lines are split rather than reading any of it.
