When I'm writing poetry in the regular format there is always a space in-between the lines that drives me crazy. How can I fix it?

If you're typing your work use shift key + enter. It takes away the extra white space between the lines. If you have your work copy and pasted and there are extra space between the lines- use backspace- then shift + enter. Either of those should work ^^

What Cas said, and there's also this article --> How to Format Poetry which goes into detail on a few other methods.

EDIT: The above article is in reference to formatting in the Publishing Centre

I've always preferred the first method here, personally, just using the <br> code for lines: Formatting poetry #3.
