so,
lo and behold, a beginner \TeX{}er's "solution":
-----------------------%<-------------------------
\defineparagraphs
[poem][n=2]
\setupparagraphs
[poem][1][width=.35\textwidth]
\setupparagraphs
[poem][2][rule=on]
\def\StartPoem#1{%
\startpoem
\ifx#1\undefined\else\section{#1}\fi
\poem\startlines}
\def\StopPoem{%
\stoplines\stoppoem\page}
\def\PoemPage{%
\StopPoem
\StartPoem{}}
\starttext
\StartPoem{poem1}
line 1
line 2
\StopPoem
\StartPoem{poem2}
line 1
line 2
\PoemPage
line 3
line 4
\StopPoem
\stoptext
-----------------------%<-------------------------
as the poems are quite static, and in this case it is
actually better if i can "cut" the page at a convinient
point, i think this is an easier "hack"
(at the moment for me definitely) :))))))
and it also takes care of the \startlines \stoplines
i asked about earlier. not that Taco's solution
did not work, but this is much more primitive,
and so better at the moment.
i have another question. how can i modify how the "rule"
will look like? the closest thing i have found in the
manual was \setupmarginrules but \setupmarginrules[thickness=5]
did nothing.
thanks to everyone for pointing out where the manual sources are.
