It's a neat trick, but what use is it? The original poem was not formatted that way, so what are you trying to accomplish?
In other words, yes, JavaScript can do some things you can't do with HTML and CSS alone, but the number of times you actually
need JavaScript to accomplish the look and feel of any sort of printed text is close to zero.
Please note that this is coming from a person who has successfully made EPUBs look almost exactly like the original physical book, even with the wide variety of output device sizes and personal preferences (font sizes, etc.). The only thing I haven't overcome is when a device flat-out doesn't render basic CSS correctly (e.g., Kindle margin handling, the table display of some renderers, etc.).
