Otherwise the poetry gets mushed together into one long line. Also, just put one star between the stanzas. smile. Judy s. Shelley L. Rhodes wrote: Hi you all, it has been a while since I attempted poetry.. I have three books of Poetry I want to try to submit for Bookshare. What tips and techniques do you all recommend to get these into presentable shape? I know some put stars between the stanzas, and to allow short line endings while scanning. What else do I need to know and remember? Thanks everyone. Shelley L. Rhodes, M.A. CVRT and Ludden black Labrador Guide Dog. Diamonds may be a woman's best friend, but a dog is mine.
