How can you set up a poem in a research paper, so it runs on one?
Use line breaks at the ends of the lines (verses) instead of paragraph
breaks. Use a paragraph only at the end of a stanza and format the paragraph with some Space Before/After. If the lines (verses) are short, you'll probably want to visually center the poem. Don't use Center alignment (a cheap trick that looks tacky and makes the poem hard to read); instead, give the paragraph a sufficient left indent to center most of the lines (let very long ones stick out). If it is the sort of poem where you have to indent every other line, you can still use line breaks and either a hanging indent (in which case you'll have to have a new paragraph every two lines) or line breaks followed by tabs on alternate lines. And if your question was meant to ask how to quote poetry on a single line, you can quote up to two (2) lines of poetry by putting a spaced slash to indicate the line break ("I think that I shall never see / A poem lovely as a tree."). Anything over two lines should be printed as a block quote. -- Suzanne S.
