[bksvol-discuss] Question about poetry lines

I 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
