I don't think so, but I know many other people think free verse poems should have rhyme and meter. Since this question says "rhyme and meter" I am clustering those together and my answer is considering whether free verse poems ALWAYS have both rhyme and meter, not just rhyme (not to mention the different types of rhyme), or meter (not to mention the types of meter too).
And the use of the Words ALWAYS in the question, almost forces me to answer "no." To me, there are ALWAYS exceptions to every rule. (HA- I need to practice what I preach, eh? LOL)
