Replying to a comment on:

I don't rhyme enough, eh? (Ode) by Niphredil

Rhyming is not all-important. I know For some it's a challenge, a chance for a show, But let all beware of those who coerce Their disordered feelings to pre-ordered verse. I'm sure that a poem is oft viewed as neater When properly rhymed and according to meter If genius strikes you, by all means then rhyme; Less than that shall be denounced as a crime.

Poetry ; also the criminal act of forcing words into feelings.
The rest of your comment is incomprehensible.
What gives poetry or any art form feeling is composition.
It is not feeling it is an evoker of feeling.
Rhyme is a poetic device like metaphor or alliteration. All used to help make a lasting impression on the reader.
What does poetry do that prose can't? Poetry can be memorized more easily and tends to be shorter, that's all.
