Poet Community, Meet Your New Best Friend
U+2800
Hey Y'all,
I'll keep it short and sweet.
If you're a poet on Vocal, and you're also frustrated with how we have to personally maintain our stanzas with an asterisk or some other character to avoid our poems becoming one big stanza, this is for you. Here's a lovely work around I've discovered for you to get that perfect blank space in between your stanzas.
Copy what is in between quotations below and paste that in between your stanzas. When you post your poem, it will have stanzas separated as lovely as can be!
Unicode Character “⠀” (U+2800)
Example of it at work:
Toodles!

The Tale of the Two Dollar Pizza Box
Introduction Two dollars. Most often, two dollars is not going to make the difference between “winning” and “losing” in business…but it sure can be! $2 can be the difference between making a profit and a loss on a specific transaction… and on a specific customer interaction. Two dollars can also be the difference between retaining a customer and losing a customer for good. In that instance, that two dollars is really worth a whole lot more than just two simple one-dollar bills. In fact, that two dollars can end-up costing the organization a far more than just two bucks, perhaps hundreds, thousands, or even more! If you lose a customer, and his/her/their business and thus, the future revenue stream you could have garnered from that individual/entity, you can cost your enterprise a whole lot more - many, many multiples of two dollars!

So glad you shared this! There is also such a thing as a blank or invisible character, which you can achieve by typing "alt" + spacebar on an apple computer. This is literally like a space, but codes differently, and gets around Vocal's auto formatting stuff, so you can indent and add spaces between words and paragraphs too! Credit to Andrei Z for sharing that lovely hack.
BLESS YOU!
Oh good hack! Thanks for pointing this out. I enjoy doing my readings but I feel like there's so much pressure to get my rhythm right with the lack of formatting options for poetry. Thanks again!
