I thought I'd give the mailing list a small change of pace---instead of asking how to do it, I will show you :)
The short answer is: \starttext My Concrete Poem \startlines All the white space will print ! \stoplines \stoptext However, \startlines..\stoplines is not available when defining a macro. I've documented the solution to this situation on my blog: http://drippingdigital.com/blog/2010/09/typesetting-poetry-in-context/ Thanks to Wolfgang Schuster for helping me work it out!
