Thanks so much
i also could define poem structure like this:
Using table method:
\protected\def\PoemStart#1\PoemStop
{\bTABLE[setups=tablepoem]#1\eTABLE}
\protected\def\Beyt#1
{\bTR #1 \eTR}
\protected\def\Misra#1
{\bTD #1 \eTD}
\starttext
\PoemStart
\Beyt{\Misra{the first sentence} \Misra{the second sentence}}
\Beyt{\Misra{the third sentence} \Misra{the fourth sentence}}
\PoemStop
\stoptext
also it can be done with itemize(easier but less flexible):
\defineitemgroup[Mypoem]
\setupitemgroup[Mypoem][horizontal,two]
\protected\def\PoemStart#1\PoemStop
{\startitemgroup[Mypoem]#1\stopitemgroup}
\protected\def\Misra#1
{\startitem#1\stopitem}
\starttext
\PoemStart
\Misra{the first sentence} \Misra{the second sentence}
\Misra{the third sentence} \Misra{the fourth sentence}
\PoemStop
\stoptext
there is also another method by using buffers and lua code (part of the answer
to my question on the stack site).
