Plenty of rhyming in Lord's Prayer, but what where was the poetry in the Beatitudes? I'm not that into poetry (unless it is the rock and roll type of poetry...) so if I don't see rhyming, I don't really get it...
The poetry in the Beattitudes is more like Hebrew poetry, although some of them rhyme. I'm working on an extended article concerning it, and I'll post my results soon.
