I'd recommend using Textile, you can then add a paragraph style (poem) to the paragraph, and when converting, in the extra CSS, add a poem style.

Put this in a txt file, convert with
Txt-Input -> Paragraph style - Off
Txt-Input -> Formatting style - Textile
And use the ExtraCSS in the Look and Feel->Extra CSS

Code:

Here's a few lines of a poem in a 'poem' style.

p(poem). 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves 
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; 
All mimsy were the borogoves, 
And the mome raths outgrabe. 

And now back to normal.

Code:

.poem {padding-left:10%; padding-right:10%; text-indent:0; text-align: left; font-style: italic;}

Adjust extra css to suiit.
