rhyme like any other device works well when used well. have, don't have it does it matter if it's good, is it anachronistic...definitely not, just look ate your xmas and birthday cards, listen to almost any pop song [which could be seen as a form of poetry] and there's nearly always rhyme, our language leads us to rhyme. the sonics add something as they do wit other devices. people often see end rhyme when rhyming poetry is mentioned without noticing good internal rhymes and various other types of rhyme. i think to call rhyming poetry anachronistic is to bury one's head up one's own arse.
