Try \startalignment[flushright]. [right] is the same as [flushleft].

Best wishes,

In case you didn't find it yourself: use

\startlines
for your poetry
\stoplines

Regarding documents:
There are some at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Sample_documents
But most of them are rather old.

It's always a hassle to strip sample documents of all copyrighted text  
or customer data...
Or you know that it's not really best practice what you do and don't  
want to publish dirty hacks.

Thanks Taco and Henning,

The link to the Sample Documents was helpful, especially the biochem 
textbook.  As a web developer, I'm used to learning by reading other 
people's code.  I sure do hope other people will post their documents, 
with or without commentary.  It's the quickest way for me to learn 
without bothering people. 

Cheers,

Corin Royal Drummond
