> Have you written any poetry in your conlangs?
Yes - a while back. Gladly, I've lost those texts (it was turning into
a task of trying to fit a developing grammar into a set of nice
sounding stanzas, rather than developing a conlang from which good
sounding poetry could flow - with some very messy, artificial
compromises, which took me ages to root out when I returned to the
language a couple of years ago).
My English poetry isn't too bad (at

for those looking for five minutes away from parsing and conjugating).
I am developing Gevey with a plan of writing large chunks of the
conculture history in the vernacular - possibly epic style. Hence the
consonant clusters, which should give me a good range of rhymes, half
rhymes, etc.
