Valerie,
For me as a mainly auditory reader, stars between the stanzas would be
absolutely invaluable. The device I'm reading with doesn't tell me
when a new paragraph/stanza begins, so some sort of demarcation would
be lovely as poets often switch themes when they switch stanzas. Just
my two cents though, and there may be other oppinions.
