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.
