If you don't use emphasis or other inline formatting, it's
easiest to put this in a special fenced code block

~~~ {.poetry}
hickory dickory dock
    the mouse ran up the clock
       the clock struck one
the mouse ran down
~~~

And then use a CSS rule like

pre.poetry code { font-family: serif; }

Alternatively you can do this:

hickory dickory dock\
\ \ \ \ the mouse ran up the clock\
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ the clock struck one\
the mouse ran down
