Poetry needs form.

This topic is about the challenges of sharing poetry on a forum, especially when it comes to keeping the poem's rhythm, rhyme, and line breaks intact. Poetry often relies on these elements to convey its meaning and emotion, but when posted online, the formatting can get lost, turning a carefully crafted poem into a jumbled block of text. This is particularly important for poems like "My Love and My Bag," which explores life with an ostomy pouch and the joy of newfound love. The writer is seeking a way to preserve the poem's layout when sharing it on the site.

Here are some helpful tips:

1. To keep the poem's structure intact, use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Enter at the end of each line. This will insert a single line break, helping the poem maintain its intended format when posted on the forum.

2. If you've already posted poems that lost their formatting, consider revisiting those posts to apply this technique and correct their appearance.
