I must respectfully disagree with you. There's absolutely no reason whatsoever for poetry to rhyme. It can't rhyme in many languages, due to grammatical inflections, and it's only the most simplistic types of English poetry that imposes rhymes upon the reader.

Meter is what differentiates poetry from prose, not rhyming.
