I don't know of a set of guidelines for simple markup of poetry in X/HTML, but you can find some discussions about it as well as some more involved methods of marking up such texts through the "Text Encoding Initiative" (TEI): http://www.tei-c.org/ TEI uses SGML markup, which theoretically could then be run through a parser to produce whatever flavour of X/HTML one wanted. But because it requires its own DTD or a server-side XSLT/translator of some sort, it is probably not what you are looking for. If you are really interested in poetry markup however, they have done some fairly extensive thinking about it. For e.g., check out A Gentle Introduction to SGML: http://xml.coverpages.org/gentle.html or TEI - 4 Encoding the Body - 4.3. Prose, Verse and Drama: http://www.tei-c.org/Lite/U5-body.html#vedr In actual practice, if you are just encoding a couple poems, then I think that the simple use of either <pre> or <p> + <br> as suggested by others makes more sense.
