Understandable ;-)

Some extra magic is needed (newlines are rather special). The
following bit of code seems to work on a simple case,
but i give no guarantees:

%
\defineparagraphs
   [Poem][n=2]
\setupparagraphs
   [Poem][1][width=.4\textwidth]

\def\startpoem#1\poem
   {\def\poemtitle{#1}\begingroup\obeylines\domypoem}

\def\domypoem#1\stoppoem
   {\endgroup\startPoem\poemtitle\Poem\startlines #1\stoplines\stopPoem}

\starttext

\startpoem
poemtitle
\poem
...
...
\stoppoem

\stoptext
% EOF

Cheers, Taco
