Witch poem

I’m trying to think of ways to make IF puzzles less based upon lock and key object puzzles and more related to the mechanisms of the form itself, that is text. My first idea is to incorporate the various mechanisms of poetry (rhyme, meter, alliteration, stanza forms etc) in order to create a series of word objects that can be combined for various effects. It would function as something like a magic casting system, so you might have a rhyme word ‘cold’ and could make other rhyming objects cold. (cold gold, cold mould etc). You could combine these in poems that would have more complex effects. Not the most elegant solution to the puzzle problem but a step in the right direction I think.
