Along the same lines, do deaf people compose poems in ASL? What aspect of that language plays the part of rhyme?

Treat my answer as what it is - hearsay - but the way I remember reading about it being explained, there is indeed sign-language poetry, and gestures having similar or complimentary movements were considered rhyming, which I guess also makes intuitive sense.

Yep, and there is sign language poetry in lots of different sign languages!
It’s a beautiful and unique artform IMO
