My goal is to write a haiku or a poem in the center on the page, but
I do not want the text to be centered but align left in the center of
the page. How can I achieve that? Do I have to use a centered column?
The simplest approach is to put your poetry in a `div` element, set some
suitable width for it, and set its left and right margin to auto:
<style>
.poem {
width: 20em; /* tune as needed
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
</style>
<div class=poem>
</div>
If you don’t want to set a fixed width but let the width be as needed
for the longest line, then you need something more complicated. Please
specify if this is the case.
