Once a poem already exists on a page it is possible to select it and edit it (albeit using markup) from within VisualEditor. There is a demonstration of this in the VisualEditor sandboxed demo page. But is there a way to create a new poem in visual editor? I can't find any way of inserting poem tags without switching to the traditional editor and back again, which takes quite a long time and breaks my concentration.
Also, does anyone happen to know how long it is likely to be before the poem extension becomes fully compatible with VisualEditor. I find a wiki to be an excellent writer's notebook in many ways, but the inability to handle unusual text formatting easily is the only big stumbling block.
