Both forms here are good, like the use of internal rhyme, and that you are experimenting with " differences" in rhythm... ( instead of using " I dont know" as your form, the most common form, where there is no specific form is " free verse..." the site has explanations for just about everything to do with poetry- Im still in that learning curve myself...looking forward to your third version....

Hopefully a third version. I get distracted easily. Hence example my Katerina story from 2008 found in short stories selection.
