That's the Duotrope formula for listing 'Poetry Forms' under 'Genres, Styles & Themes' -- 'Open to' and 'Excluding' are the only categories offered for a journal to note what they will or won't accept. Given the black and white nature of those categories, I wondered how many journals explicitly exclude poems that rhyme from consideration; however inexact, I thought that might be some indication of how the wind is blowing.

It's also interesting to hear where people apply or don't apply, and why, but that's a different question.
