14. Writing of Poetry Lines/Verses

Poems are written in italic everywhere.

Example:
Fear not; For the crimson banner that proudly ripples in this glorious dawn, shall not fade,

Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my homeland is extinguished.

For that is the star of my people, and it will forever shine;

It is mine; and solely belongs to my valiant nation.

Mehmet Akif Ersoy

When the verses of a poem are written side by side, a slash (/) is added between them, leaving a space before and after.

Example:
Fear not; For the crimson banner that proudly ripples in this glorious dawn, shall not fade / Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my homeland is extinguished / For that1 is the star of my people, and it will forever shine / It is mine; and solely belongs to my valiant nation.
