I've intentionally not drawn a difference between those who use metre and those who don't: it seem to me rather boring to worry about the distinguishing of rhythm: recently I can't even be bothered to distinguish between poems and novels: there is something much more strange beneath all this conservative artificiality: language which is really about living. Although, if you do want categories: Rilke is almost completely metrical in his German.
