When using HTML is should be flowable which means the margin should be adjustable. It is typical to indent all but the first line of a poem where most of the poem is made up of single line paragraphs with no spacing between them. A CSS entry can accomplish this automatically.
The look and feel of poetry should be evident in its presentation whenever possible. Having a wrap around due to a long line does not destroy the presentation IMHO but this is what the indent is all about. The indent maintains the form of the line. Line lengths of the medium are arbitrary while line lengths of the poem itself are significant.
