I've done a lot of poetry in Denden, and a bit in other languages -
you can read (and listen to) almost all of it from my webpage. Rhyme
can be used, but mostly it's just the poet who says, 'this is poetry,
and no mistake' - not something really technical. Nowadays I'm a bit
too busy reading up on software construction technique... When I
thought it would be difficult to create an interactive interlinear
text editor, I was right. It's a lot easer just to store a list of
words in a database ;-(.
