   end of every line inside it (do NOT use text-indent/paragraph
   style for poems — that convention is for prose). This keeps
   line breaks intact and gives stanzas real breathing room instead
   of collapsing into one dense block of text.

   Example:
     <div class="piece-body poem">
       <p class="stanza">
         First line of the poem.<br>
         Second line, same stanza.<br>
         Third line closes it out.
       </p>
       <p class="stanza">
         A new stanza starts here,<br>
         set apart with extra space above.
