I was thinking of making Lumanesian poetry something like the
Burmese classical verse with the the so-called "climbing rhyme".
This Burmese poetry has rhymes regressing through successive
four-syllable lines; 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Very
very interesting if you ask me. However, I'm far from the creating
poetry in Lumanesian (as some of you may have noticed).
