How does a free verse peom look like?

Free verse means it doesn't have any patterns or rhymes so you can do whatever you want

A free verse poem doesn't have many rules, hence the term "free-verse". You can pretty much make commas and periods anywhere you deem appropriate. And a free verse poem usually doesn't rhyme, but when it does it's an unnatural pattern of rhyme. There is also no "set" place to make a new line, and any word can start a new line.

Example (this literally took 2 minutes, so it isn't very good, I know):

Outside my door
I hear the whistling wind.
The snow is white
and blinding.

Beyond the front door
There's more and more
snow. For me to play in.
I make a snowman
and have a good time.
 
Free verse poems need to rely on other measures for ending a line than most metrical forms, so you need to think about the breaks more. In free verse you will be thinking a lot more about the rhythm of the line, the pacing. Robert Wrigley likes to end on a noun, a strong word, some people choose a word they want emphasize in the line. You will need to explore what works best for your own work, if you're not familiar enough with how to write poetry, the hundreds of tools available, then you just need to start reading.

A poem in punctuated just like any other form of writing.

What word do you start with? That has nothing to do with whether a poem is free or formal, it will depend on the poem.

Because poetry is based on the line it is a good thing to study, one of the most effective tools is reading a lot of poetry, from a lot of poets, and seeing how they use line breaks. A good book to look at is The Art of the Poetic Line by James Longenbach.
 
You can make a new line whenever you want, use a period or a comma or a question mark or an exclamation point, and you can start each line with whatever you want. That's the beauty of free verse. To me, it's more of a feeling of poetry, more transcendental than structured poetry.
 
A lot of my poetry is done in free verse, so this has the potential to be the largest section by quite a bit. Some of these, which I haven't figured out how to mark yet, are examples of something I call structured free verse. That isn't intended to be an oxymoron, but an application of the form (or lack thereof). These pieces have some kind of structure, usually relating to syllables or rhythm, and sometimes interwoven rhyme.
Example
Betrayed
Spoken--a word implicit.
A concept--broken.
Trust--
A token, dropped
In the machine--
Time's up.
I have proven over
And again, I am
Tougher than I seem--
A fool still, hopeful.
And you never say
You grant me equal credibility
Or similar delusions.
To believe everything
You say--how can
I give you what I am not given?
But I do--
I would, and I will.
And I let you
Keep pieces of me
Locked, keyed to you
Secretly--only I
Can no longer
Be sure of finding them--
You will tell me,
I or you
Right or wrong.
And this new
Revisionist me
Wants only to be right
And for you to know.
