A poem is never a thought to begin with. It is at its best when it is a tantalising vagueness. It finds its thought and succeeds or doesn't find it and comes to nothing.

Where there is no similarity, there is no rhyme. Where the similarity is too great, boredom sets in. Skilful rhyming involves finding a balance between identity and difference.

Writing poetry is not a way of saying only what one already has the words for, but a way of saying what one didn't know one knew. This is true of everything about poetry, including meter and rhyme.
