Poetry rhymes. That's prose.

I don't care. If you write what you call "poetry" and it's just prose, I'm gonna cringe on your behalf.

Ironically cringe

Not necessarily. This is Just to Say is a very famous poem that doesn't rhyme at all.

I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the icebox

.

and which

you were probably

saving

for breakfast

.

Forgive me

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold

I already know your cringe detector doesn't work, so that means nothing to me.

The willfully ignorant do often take pride in their actions, like any other type of reactionary.

An excellent example of prose, as opposed to poetry.

big romance gestures

Everything written and spoken thing is poetry, there I settled it for you guys.

No, poetry has a metre. Also, sometimes it doesn't, but that's the kind of poetry I don't like, so it's not poetry.
