When writing rhyming poetry, do great writers think of good line

I would imagine it differs between writers. Personally, I use both of the techniques you described, although it's most of the latter. I don't rhyme using any kind of rhyme scheme. If a couple of words happen to rhyme while I write, that's fine. But my concern is with what I'm trying to convey.

I've read that it's healthy to go with the flow of language, that includes adjusting your original intention to accommodate the rhymes.
