What kind of poem is the following example from Crossover?
"The Red Rockets,
defending county champions,
are in the house tonight.
They brought their whole school.
This place is oozing crimson
They're beating us
twenty-nine to twenty-eight
with less than a minute to go.
I'm at the free-throw line.
All I have to do
is make both shots
to take the lead.
The first is up, UP, and--
CLANK!--hits the rim..."

What kind of poem is the following example from Crossover?
"Josh Bell
is my name.
But Filthy McNasty is my claim to fame.
Folks call me that
'cause my game's acclaimed,
so downright dirty, it'll put you to shame.
My hair is long, my height's tall.
See, I'm the next Kevin Durant,
LeBron, and Chris Paul."
