pre is still there so use it to get your text to render as you want to,
with all the line breaks and spaces you want, and then style your pre to
make it look pretty.
CSS is for styling, not markup, so don't try to find CSS versions of HTML
tags because they are two different beasts. A

Joseph,
css has the equivalent of kerning, [word spacing] which may be useful to you
for poems, while the equivalent of pre is 'white-space' BUT support is
not universal..
white-space values: pre|nowrap|normal
eg: div.poem { white-space: pre; font-family: monospace; }

I noticed that Cheryl's reworking of my first attempt used br / to set
out
the poetry lines. Is there no equivalent to pre tag in css?
I haven't spotted anything,
Michael,
tomorrow I shall experiment with whitespace; it looks interesting. The ds
and the ul li I think I will give a miss to; it would be even more work
than br - though I admit there are poem forms that might respond well to
unusual setting.
Haiku may, I think, be considered something
that
interesting, they used spans within the body as a styling mechanism amongst
other things.

You can use pre but the sample you had up for us to look at used br so

Pre is an html tag and not css though you can actually style it if you
choose.
