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.
