Jim,
Yes, I love metre and rhyme as well.
But I think New Formalism, and really the word "formalism" may well have done the most to destroy metrical verse's standing in the poetic consciousness. "New Formalism's" poetic conservatism, its short-sightedness, its utterly unfounded arrogance, all these are its traits. If metre and rhyme will thrive it is not thanks to "New Formalism". Eratosphere, in my opinion, is one of the few good outgrowths of New Formalism.
