I can’t figure out how to typeset poems with very long verses. I know
that I can use the lines environment for verses, but if a verse is long,
it must be broken and the second line must be indented. It seems that
the lines environment doesn’t wllow this.
Anayway I would prefer a solution which avoids the lines environment.
This means I would like to define two commands: \startVerse and
\stopVerse. But I find no solution.
How can this be realized in Kontext? In LaTeX with memoir it’s really
easy.

You can create your own lines environment with the \definelines command. The indentation of the second line can be achieved in two different ways, the first is to indent the whole block on the left side with the \startnarrow command and use a negative paragraph indentation for the first line.
\usemodule[visual]
\definelines
[verse]
[before={\startnarrow[left=1em,default=left]},
after=\stopnarrow,
indenting={yes,-1em}]
\starttext
\startverse
\fakewords{10}{20}
\fakewords{10}{20}
\fakewords{10}{20}
\stopverse
\stoptext
The second method uses a low level method (context doesn’t provide its own interface for this) to set the \hangafter and \hangindent registers which indents the second line of each entry.
\usemodule[visual]
\define\VerseAlignment
{\hangafter = 1 \relax
\hangindent = 1em\relax}
\definelines[verse][command=\VerseAlignment]
\starttext
\startverse
\fakewords{10}{20}
\fakewords{10}{20}
\fakewords{10}{20}
\stopverse
\stoptext

It’s ConTeXt with a C.
