No, not quite that. The requirements (which came at the end of the thread)
suggested that the description of a limerick (for example) should be in the
form of a limerick. The description of a haiku should be in the form of a
haiku etc. An example for limerick was

poetic-form: VERSE-LIMERICK
descr:       The object consists of a verse
descr:       in a format approaching the terse
descr:       The rhymes, very strict
descr:       Must be carefully picked 
descr:       and it's funny and often perverse

Note the hierachical naming convention for poetic-form objects, all verse
type forms should start "VERSE". Remember that not all poetry is verse. So
another example would be

poetic-form: PROSE 
descr:       Don't let the structure tie your tongue; 
descr:       if you hate the masochism of verse,
Descr:       remember that you can feel free to use prose,
descr:       and feel free because you are.

The poetic form names are hierachical so for example the English sonnet form
could be

Poetic-form: VERSE-SONNET-ENGLISH
descr:       The English sonnet poem's perfect peak
descr:       Doth sooth the senses with its gracious line
descr:       Full fourteen lines, five doubles stressed we seek
descr:       The first octet a single concept fine
descr:       Must introduce in argument aright
descr:       And when is unconcealed its notion hid
descr:       A pause, a breath must make a junction slight
descr:       Before the latter part its thought must bid.
descr:       The sextet takes us further in this scheme
descr:       Its rhymes EFEFGG march on
descr:       Alike yet different in their simple theme
descr:       To those that went before and build upon
descr:       Them, rearing up the mused-on lambent dream
descr:       To climax in a final couplet bare
descr:       That ends this form of verse which flows so fair.

Again, see my presentation for a number of examples.
