I was taught fairly early in English lessons that rhyme was not a necessary component of poetry; metre, or "bounce" as I sometimes describe it, is much more important.
But not necessary either. Many modern poems don’t have any regular rhythm. It’s rather like the constitutive element of poetry is an uncommon meaningfulness of language, or condension, as the German word „Gedicht“ really fitfully insinuates.
