what type of poem is this, like is it a ballad, a sonnet, a blank verse or a free verse, or it could be other?
The Diet That Works
Range Rover Rachel is preparing to pray
She checks her mascara, her hair seems okay
She assembles her prayer-stool, it's upholstered with wool
Her brown shiny knees won't become at all dull
Places prayer stool on carpet, it was made in Iran
Many coloured but subtle, won't compete with her tan
You can buy them mail-order, or online from Habitat
She prays for her midriff - three ounces of puppyfat
''Kensington, Atkins, high protein or none?
I've tried every diet but the lard hasn't gone
I've bought special devices, focus workout on tummies
I've tried to stop eating by sucking at dummies.''
Didn't expect an answer, but a vision she's seeing
Thank God for body-hugging, guaranteed panty-line free, super-absorbent undies, Rachel fears she is peeing
''YOU WONDER,'' says God, ''WHICH SCHEME MAKES YOU THINNER?
THE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS - INVITE THEM TO DINNER.''

It's obviously not a sonnet. A sonnet has just 14 lines, its meter is usually iambic pentameter, and it usually has a rhyme scheme different from the AABBCC. . . . scheme here.
Free verse doesn't use rhyme or meter, but this poem uses both.
Blank verse is unrhymed iambic pentameter. This poem uses rhyme and doesn't use iambic pentameter.
Look up "ballad." There's more than one definition, and you might feel that one of them fits this poem.
