How do I get single line poetry, in stanzas?
-
When I type poems on my blog, there is a space between each line and it doesn’t allow stanzas. Is there something I’m missing where I would be able to type each line, single space and then two spaces for Stanzas? Thanks!

are you just saying you want to be able to add an extra blank space between lines of text?
If you’re in text mode, you can add:

Sorry, jameswelbes! I meant that I want four lines with no spaces, then a space between those four lines (stanza) and the next four lines (stanza). It’s typing out with a space between each line and I’m not able to distinguish between each stanza. By text, are you meaning HTML? I’m in VISUAL when I’m typing.

If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/
If you use the classic editor here Dashboard > Posts > Add New to create your posts what I provide below may be helpful.
In the classic editor, if you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph. If you are working in the Text or HTML editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.
Whether or not you are copying and pasting go to > Dashboard > Settings > Writing and enable this setting:
Formatting
__ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”IMPORTANT NOTE: When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.
