If you do that you deserve a lot of respect, it's rather long and doing it in hexameter is even harder!

Well, I don't think I'll do it anytime soon, and the whole thing maybe never...

I was thinking recently about the best form of metre for Esperanto, quantity or stress, and I decided that a more stress-based system was better.

Now concerning Esperanto rhyme: isn't it a bit boring, considering that the endings indicate grammatical form?

You could look at a selection of Esperanto poems to find out what meters they generally use. I used an Esperanto poem for a poetry project in high school; it came out to be some weird meter that's almost never used in English poetry.

Anyone interested in Esperanto poetry should definitely read the classic book "Parnasa gvidlibro" by Kalocsay and Waringhien. It's a very illuminating book about the history of Esperanto poetry and about the concrete nuts and bolts of crafting poetry.

A lot of older books are floating around the net in pdf form with file names of the form "eo - author - title.pdf" from a now-defunct website elibrejo. Google for
"eo - platono" pdf
and you'll find various links to some by Plato, for instance, or "eo - vallienne" pdf gets you links to some translations of Vallienne.

Rhyme isn't just matching up the sounds of the last syllables of words: the sounds have to match starting at the last accented syllable. So "arbo" and "hundo" or "mother" and "father" don't rhyme; "ŝtono" and "duono", however, do.

I know, but the rhymed words still are almost always the same part of speech.

Read some of Grabowski's poetry, and I think you'll find it's not boring.

I found a German site that provides free electronic copies of old Esperanto books: http://www.onb.ac.at/sammlungen/plansprachen/fru..., including poetry by Grabowski.
