How do I make spaces between verses? I try using the Enter key to make spaces, but when I save the work, the spaces aren't there.

I know I could space verses out by using lines of underscores or asterisks, but I really don't wanna look juvenile.

Just- how do I make spaces in the Publishing Center that stay?

Shift+enter at the same time makes a line break, do it twice and it's a stanza break. There's a way to do it in the html coding too, but that's the easiest.

How to Format Poetry
Formatting poetry #3

Here's some articles on different methods. I know it's annoying. Personally I use the method in the second article. A little more HTML than shift+enter, but I find it more reliable.

Maybe what most people wanted wasn't immortality and fame, but the reassurance that their existence had meant something. No matter how long... or how brief. Maybe being eternal meant becoming a story worth telling.
