Template:Poem begin/doc

This template essentially duplicates the function of the tag  by adding padding and a set width for the content of a page.

However, there are a few essential differences: it is meant for poetry and does not automatically indent, since it is a template it is easily tweakable (for any future changes), and it allows for variable widths.

It pairs with Template:Poem end, which is essentially just a  closing tag but should be used to allow for any future changes to the template that also affect the end tag.

It should also be used with the  and   tags (which cannot be included in this template, because they don't transclude properly).

Usage
Preceding text Text of poem. Following text

produces:

Preceding text Text of poem. Following text

Widths other than the default of 27em can be set by adding.
