She is such a celebrity, a real pro.

Relishes the crowd and the noise

and answers a barrage of questions

with a lot of dignity and poise.

 

The model for all fashion models,

she’s wearing diamond earrings,

a  very beautiful pair of sparklers,

the real McCoy not tawdry bling.

 

Her diet must include rocket salad

for health reasons and fitness sake.

To remain slim and in good trim

she doesn’t eat chocolate or cake.

 

Those restrictions and sacrifices

are what make her figure divine.

There is no reluctance because

her body is, after all, her gold mine.

Clever take on the IP. Did you use double space/hard returns on this because of the problem of doing stable soft returns if there is a font change at the end of the line. I sent a query to the tech people on the forum about it, as the line breaks seemed to disappear erratically , but had wondered whether to give up and change all the returns to full ones. Rhiannon

Hello Rhiannon. That wasn't the reason; I left it double-spaced because that's the way it appears when the piece is pasted  and I was too lazy to change it and also because it was a short poem.
I agree that putting a bold or italic words at the end of the line can play havoc with the format and I too mentioned this to the techies but they told me they couldn't find any fault. It would be useful it the preview facility did work so that we could see how the text appears before saving it. You could try pasting the work plainly and then italicise or make bold through the toolbar above. It seemed to have worked for me.
