I've always found Poe's rhyme schemes to be really interesting. The Raven, for instance, goes like this:

A
A
B
C
C
C
B
B
B

Or The Bells:
A
A
A
B
C
B
B
C
D
D
A
A
A
A

Poe was so cool.

As for rhyming, I love it. It's always a slight bit odd for me when I come upon a poem that doesn't rhyme or alliterate or anything. I freak out when I see a poem with no structure at all.
