I'd suggest the descr: field to be in the poetic form itself.

poetic-form: VERSE-LIMERICK desr: The object consists of a verse in a format that is far from terse a-a-b-b-a scheme around a humorous theme and is sometimes extremely perverse

poetic-form: VERSE-HAIKU descr: The haiku object only seven syllables in its density admin-c: HIKU1-RIPE tech-c: HIKU1-RIPE mnt-by: RIPE-DBM-MNT changed: ripe-dbm@ripe.net 20040401 source: RIPE

poetic-form: PROSE descr: Don't let the structure tie your tongue ; if you hate the masochism of verses, remember that you can feel free to use prose, and feel free because you are. admin-c: LIM1-RIPE tech-c: LIM1-RIPE mnt-by: RIPE-DBM-MNT changed: ripe-dbm@ripe.net 20040401 source: RIPE

You got me started... wikipedia.org actually has a good descr: field for the epigram. poetic-form: EPIGRAM descr: What is an Epigram? A dwarfish whole; Its body brevity, and wit its soul. (Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1772-1834) admin-c: LIM1-RIPE tech-c: LIM1-RIPE mnt-by: RIPE-DBM-MNT changed: ripe-dbm@ripe.net 20040401 source: RIPE In other words. Shane's proposal for the poetic-form object is nice. -- Olaf (Back to work) ---------------------------------| Olaf M. Kolkman ---------------------------------| RIPE NCC
