  I’ve pasted a poem and it has a line space after each stanza, but when I ‘save draft’ and check the preview the spaces have gone. It’s just one line after the other – a continuous column. When I go back to edit and add the space, save draft, preview. It is the same again and when I go back to edit the spaces I added are gone.

  Writing in a word processing program and writing on your WPcom site are not exactly the same, especially when copying and pasting. Here’s a bit more about that https://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  See here too for adding extra line breaks: https://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/#extra-line-breaks

  I’m also pretty sure there was a write up on WPcom’s The Daily Post about formatting poetry, so when I find it I’ll add the link.
