Best original format for accurate conversion

Hi all

I decided to put some of my favourite poems into a booklet for my Kindle. I input the poems into Word, saved as a text file and then applied basic formatting - all poems in the same font and size, titles in bold, and page breaks.

Then I saved as RTF and converted to .mobi

There are quite a few formatting changes - random size changes, differences in line height in some poems, some titles are not in bold.

I thought I'd had a brainwave this morning and tried saving the file as PDF and then converting to .mobi. Much worse, with line and page breaks missing in many cases.

What would be the best way to put the file into Calibre for conversion? The only other option i can think of is to convert the RTF to HTML, make sure that's consistent and then convert to .mobi, perhaps? It seems a bit long winded though.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

TIA
