So far as I know, there isn't that much known about Klingon poetry (aside
from what we've written ourselves). We know they have opera, and plays and
poems, and we know that they have the gha'tlhIq, which is a poem honoring
someone (there's a word filtering into my brain from years ago... Aha!
Aretology, I think. Might that be a decent description of gha'tlhIq?), and
hasn't the show made reference "Basai Masters" as great poets? No
canonical version of that term known, but I bet it'll be in the next book.
