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

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)

I'm happy to take an action to write an English Sonnet

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