The style sheet just came with the text from the referenced article. It was aninteresting example of no-markup poetry so I just grabbed the whole thing.
After seeing what some people do to a poem for markup and the mixed results,
it seems to me that one approach would be to mark it up as little as possible
(in the case of this example, just the container with the pre-wrap style) and
find out if that works. The more you add, the more the user-agent needs to get
right to give you the desired result - so see how little you can get by with.

Not sure what your question about the <hr> question refers to ...
Your style sheet contains:
/* A hard return in a poem. */
div.poem hr {
border-color: #445570;
margin: 0.250em 0.000em;
}
I do note that you never actually /used/ this construct in the sample poem, but its existence in the style sheet indicates that it /might/ be used in the future.
