Hmmm. If it stays up there when I finish what I have
and what I have promised, I'll take it--but that will
be a while.
It's probably too late for you now, because you're
sick od the book, but one way to put in line breaks
for poetry--well-written, traditional poetry, is to
listen to it--in your mind if you're not using Daisy
or whatever--and hit return when you feel there should
be a line break. Unfortunately, I learned long after
doing the Complete Works of Rudyard Kipling, that in
order to keep breaks between verses one must put
asterisks there.
Unfortunately, the book I'm doing now, written in what
I suppose would be called free verse, does not obey
any of the ordinary rules of meter or rhythm r rhyme
and I either have to try to remember the line
endings--good practice to increase my memory--and/or
constantly check the book.
