I spent months, literally, validating The Complete Poetry of Rudyard Kipling, working hard to preserve the formatting of the poetry, only to find out that it is not retained in the final product. In previous years, not knowing that and using tabs instead of resetting the margins for lines, I did some Chinese poetry for someone. No idea how that now looks. Fortunately, in these poems, as long as the lines of the poetry are separate, it should be o.k. Unlike some of the Kipling poems and some other poems I've read, like some of those I started to do for Reflections on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle... And Other Modern Verse, I don't think the actual shape of the poems in 101 Famous Poems matters.
