The core tenet of "web standards" is to choose the most semantically/structurally appropriate way to mark content up using official W3C standards. But hey, feel free to just start making up your own markup (<stanza></stanza>, <line></line>, <word></word>) and style it with CSS...visually, it will probably look fine, but don't be surprised if you run into serious interoperability problems and issues like assistive technology not being able to understand what the heck you actually meant with your made-up markup...
