"What would be examples of less fixed meters? Free verse?"
Breaking an otherwise perfect meter at a certain point (anywhere from between a few words, to an entire line, to a couplet, etc...) if it mirrors the meaning of the words. For example in the case of this poem, you could signify unrest, doubt, thought, by subtle manipulation of meter.
Your editing is going really well, too. Kudos!
