Formatting as form

You are writing a poem.
And then you find
you split up all the words
like this.

I think if I wrote a macro that divided lines like this, it would account for a large tranche of recently written English language poetry. I don't know how much play word processors have on poetic form but some of the things that bug me about them include:

• the insistence on capitalization at the beginning of a line
• dislike of fragments
• disturbing questions about that and which in clause structure
• American spelling as a default
• insistence on spelling
• space between lines

I am not sure how much writing by word processor affects what I write but I do find it encourages me to veer towards a standard line length. And that ain't good.

It's twisting my melon, man (manchester slide beat follows...without capitalization)
