Hello all! Hope everyone's doing good. I had a little doubt over how you format your poems. I initially used to single space my poems and 'enter' to indicate the start of the next stanza. I read somewhere that you should double space between stanzas instead of hitting enter. I'm quite confused now. How do you format your poems between stanzas? Thank you xx

I'm not much for poetry but from what I've read and seen in traditionally edited books, it's similar to a scene break in fiction: a blank line.
You're hitting "enter" between stanzas so does that mean you hit it once or twice? Once is just the start of a new line but twice creates that blank line you see between these paragraphs. That's what they mean by "double space between stanzas".
Oh god, I ended up formatting all my poems wrong 😅😂. I understand now. Thank you so much!!
