Testing the system by re-posting as a blog the poem I tried this morning, to see if the system accommodates longer lines here in the blog facility. No, apparently not. Again the formatting is destroyed, and the desired spacing is negated. Sorry folks, this has been a short membership of Neopoet, but as I am unable to post my poetry here I will simply have to leave it at that.

A young woman who loved me spoke Welsh to me;

perhaps she was lying in her own language, but her
kisses felt like truth.
