Question: English help? When you type a poem...do you have to have all of the lines aligned or does it not matter?

Answer: It does not matter, unless your class guidelines are to do so. Often forms of alignment are made to differentiate transition of thought:\nhttp://www.bu.edu/agni/poetry/online/2004/bickford.html\n\nThere are several forms and if one strikes you fancy and it is for class, you may wish to preface your poem with why you have chosen a particular style:\nhttp://www.tooter4kids.com/forms_of_poetry.htm\nhttp://faculty.uca.edu/~terryw/formsofpoetry.html\n\nBut, it is best to ask your teacher/instructor.\n\nIf and when you become proficient or renown, you may do it however you like and it may become a form others opt to use. Bottom line (not for a class) it is your poem, put it in a circle if you like it that way, these are the things that make them truly yours.
