<textarea> is just another HTML tag. You can create them in Haml like:
%textarea{:name => 'control_name'}
Initial content here

You need to specify a `name` attribute for the textarea. See above for an
example.

In plain HTML like this, you would just do
<textarea name='inlaegg'> ...
Here's a simple complete example that might help:
require 'sinatra'
require 'haml'
get '/' do
haml :index
end
__END__
@@index
%pre
= params['data']
%form{:method => 'get', :action => '/'}
%textarea{:name => 'data'}
%input{:type => 'submit'}
Hope this helps.
