A community to link to or copy and paste poems. It is not complicated.

Formatting help: two blank spaces at the end of a line will show you the path in the edit window

most certainly learning the Unicode markdown labels for spacing

nbsp

ensp

emsp

and how to activate them for your or someone else's poetry.

if a poem's language settings make it at all difficult to mod i'm deleting it.

My Heart Leaps Up

My heart leaps up when I behold
 A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
 Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
