Salve Venator,
please don't use colons in article titles; they're reserved for namespaces. I also recommend against category names in article titles - just use simple titles, and Category links within the article to categorize it.
Thus instead of Fabulae Mensae: One-Gallon Winemaker, I recommend One-Gallon Winemaker
with [[Category:Fabulae Mensae]] within the article.

Format for your poems?
Mi Veni, we're porting over a lot of the old Eagle material, including many of your fine poems. When originally published in the Eagle, they appeared more or less like so (this one's Aquila:A Sea Voyage of Exploration):
- Foamy necked waves
- break oer the shoal
- Racing to wash,
- granite toothed beach
- Greenish sea moss,
- garlands the rocks
- Dark, wet and grey,
- set in the sand [...]
