Apologies, as a very significant aspect of this process was omitted in the
previous email!

Don't forget to do:

\setuplines[space=on]

first!

I thought I'd give the mailing list a small change of pace---instead of
asking how to do it, I will show you :)

The short answer is:

\starttext
My Concrete Poem

\startlines
All the white space
will print !
\stoplines
\stoptext

However, \startlines..\stoplines is not available when defining a macro.

What do you mean by that these macros are not available?

Doesn't the following work? (untested, but I will be really surprised if it doesn't work)

\def\startpoety
{\startlines
% All the remaining setup
}

\def\stoppoety
{%whatever setup you want
\stoplines}
