No absolutely not. It can be a haiku, a koan, or even a piece of stirring prose. So who defines what is poetry? No one. You set your own bars…and the rhyme plays through the bar :-)

That's true for all things in life. Sometimes someone has defined the bars but you need not follow them. You havto break the bar to be new, fresh, different moving away from the old rituals.
The most known ppl around us have always set bars and not followed others.
I personally like rhyming poems. kinda gives me the poetic feel.
