Eggs-fucking-zactly! Thank you for saying that.
You'll get rich writing rhyme or prose faster than any of the other forms. Just ask Stephen King or Emenem and they suck at it.
I'm guessing you opted for prose. Good choice. The most lucrative of them all.
Rhyme was really big when there weren't a lot of people who could read or had access to literature so poems easy to memorize became popular. Then everyone was reading and rhyme faded and fell by the wayside. But nowadays people are busier and more distracted so short poetry and rhyme for their quick fix and quickly memorizable qualities are coming back into the limelight.
By the way don't you think Hip-hop may be the only form of poetry (if it can be considered that) that actually achieves most of the goals of poetic movements. ie. Changing common language, social behavior, youthful attitude, philosophy and most important getting women to dance in their underwear.
