My conlang is complete enough I can do poetry in it. Here is an example of what I call box poetry:

My breaths
like soldiers
dashing and
[against] evil [I] speak out
Characteristic of box poetry, the number of lines is proportional to the number in each syllable.
In this example, there are four lines of four syllables each.
Although the last line is ambiguous as to whether it is the "I" that speaks out against evil, or that evil speaks out.
It's not poetry without some ambiguity.

"Turning iron ore into iron swords is a hard process, for one must first dig out the rock, and melt it to refine it, then one must pour that metal into a mould, let it cool a bit, and pound on it while it cools even further. Games are no different." - Ahzoh
