Would it make sense for “rhyme” to rhyme with “time”?

Or for “through” to rhyme with “two”?

    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.
