When it comes to poetry I think the breaks between lines are actually preferable.

To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 9:23 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question about poetry linesI am doing a book which has some nursery rhymes and some other verse. The prose in the book is written in normal lines--but the "poetry" has a new line for each line, which, of course, will mean it has a paragraph mark. This looks totally reasonable to me--it seems to me that each line should be on a separate line, but I think I have read on the list at some time that the paragraph symbol for each line is objectionable. I don't really understand why the paragraph marks are objectionable if it isn't prose, but if they are, what should I do to make the line divisions apparent?
Thank you. Kathy
