I can't even work with formal verse forms in the natural langs i know!
:-P
But, i have one poetics term in Rokbeigalmki: _dagul_, literally
"swallowing", is a rhyme scheme in which a couplet is formed with two
words which rhyme except that the first has a syllabic nasal.  This came
spontaneously from my translation of the Babel text, in which occurs:

|amzii-kek kekm,
 i amzii-dazek|

[amzaj kEk kEkm=
 i amzaj dazEk]

"we will form bricks,
 and we will burn [them]"

Even though i need to redo the Babel text sometime, this rhyme style will
still be around in the language even if the quote above no longer remains
in the actual text.
