It might be well to remember that rhyme and meter are far from
universals of poetry.  I have seen some arguments to the contrary
and don't follow either side very closely, but the last I heard it
was generally agreed that rhyme was not a feature of any New World
poetry.  For that matter, one could argue that poetry itself
is not a universal concept.  Not sure I want to go there but
I have heard some very well-reasoned arguments that Art is not
universal either, principally dividing into what is art and what
is decoration.
As for Haiku, impossible in Nova!
Just my 2 cents,
