For poetry that has non-regular indentations, I simply 
\definelines[poem] and set that up the way I want, obviously, with 
\setuplines[poem]  e.g. [before={\blank 
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.5ex]},after={\blank},indenting=first].

And then, but I guess it is still a hack, I use \hskip at a suitable 
dimension whenever I need indented lines:

\startpoem
This is line one,
\hskip1em{This is line two}
This is line three,
\hskip1em{This is line four,}
\hskip1em{This is line five.}

\rightaligned{Poet's name}
\stoppoem
