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

Yep, and there is sign language poetry in lots of different sign languages!
It’s a beautiful and unique artform IMO
What is ballet, if not poetry for the deaf?
