I had an idea for a style of poetry that is (hopefully) kind of unique to Shavian. Since so many of the letters become other letters when rotated, you just keep matching a word with its rotated pair

A poem written in Shavian English script, against an image of a garden transforming into an oil rig. It says "Rouse the soil. Spill ribs of neep and bean. Rogue for coal. Though oath, th'old troth. We rig and kill. A globe of pork. Drop jib and belt pitch. The fee, the dues, our eve, of soot."

I had an idea for a style of poetry that is (hopefully) kind of unique to Shavian. Since so many of the letters become other letters when rotated, you just keep matching a word with its rotated pair in each line. And, since there's usually a phonetic relationship between the those letters, it kind of sounds "right" somehow too.
