Apparently I'm out numbered, but I enjoy meter and rhyme. It makes a poem far more fun and interesting to read in my opinion. I just enjoy the bouncy, happy element that it can bring into the poem; and it has a flip side. It can also bring in other emotions or tones too, they don't always have to be happy, rhyme and meter can sound angry too. I haven't read any free write poems with as much heart or feeling as some of the meter poems I've read in the past. Not that I don't enjoy free write, because I do, just not at much as rhyme and meter.
I also enjoy "muse writing". When I write I've always just written down whatever pops into my head. I don't really just jump around from topic to topic though, sometimes I feel as if I'm not getting creative enough with my muse writing. I can generally define a topic and stick to it, occasionally veering off course, but then finding my way back to the original point, or what have you; but it's not nearly as jumpy as "following a midget".

I won't disagree with your opinion on rhyme/meter, but I do feel we should get away from making that and free verse a seperate entity for different purposes. Generalizing in that sense takes away from what you could potentially get out of a poem.
