    I actually created one for my first language.  Not a sentence structure
so much as meter.  I called it a bell meter.  Each line had 21 syllables,
which went (- =  unstressed ' = stressed): ' - - ' - - ' - - ' - ' -- ' -- '
-- ' .  Over course, thus far, I haven't been good enough to produce anything
in this style...  I really am no good at poetry.
