A Quick Reminder

If you read my blog vertically, you might miss my horizons the broader perspective.

This blog, like many we cherish, is best experienced on a desktop or at least in landscape orientation. While we make efforts to adequate our blogs for every reading scenario possible, verses can get wildly long and difficult to tame. Verses should not, for instance, hyphenate, but even for this matter WordPress can’t forgo his own format decisions for the sake of our stylistic choices and needs. The verse block, said to be the perfect way to display our verses? What a joke! What was they thinking when they came up with that?

Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t offer a perfect solution for formatting poetry. Men landed on moon, and we still can not design solutions for that! The perfect scenario would be that of hanging indent, but the best we can do is to align “hard right” and have unbalanced text.

We, authors, can experiment with, again, right alignment, preformatted text, and various CSS techniques, but these don’t always capture the intended layout. To get the full experience, try landscpe mode viewing on your phone or using a desktop for reading poetry whenever is possible.
