[db-wg] proposal: haiku object

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

Looking at the VERSE-SONNET we may have a problem. There are several
subclasses that people may wish to use. The Italian Sonnet, The
English Sonnet and more modern varieties. How do we indicate possible
sub-classes in the object?

poetic-form: VERSE-SONNET
variety:     ENGLISH
descr:       (Somebody needs to write an English Sonnet)


poetic-form: VERSE-SONNET
variety:     ITALIAN
descr:       (Somebody needs to write an Italian Sonnet)
