I've seen people indent their poems like below:

> **Writing on wall**
> 
> It was just plane writing on wall  
> I must have taken it a serious call  
> She was on and off repeating same thing  
> There was hidden message through something
> 
> There may be long wait  
> All dependants on fate  
> How can one think and rate?  
> It is difficult to state

Or I've seen some like this:

> **Writing on wall**
> 
> It was just plane writing on wall  
> \_\_I must have taken it a serious call  
> She was on and off repeating same thing  
> \_\_There was hidden message through something
> 
> There may be long wait  
> \_\_All dependants on fate  
> How can one think and rate?  
> \_\_It is difficult to state

Is there other possibilities? When should I use which?
