Ha a brilliant rant and one desperately needed. I think centering for poetry is great as it forces you to stay on the line and it's intent for a bit longer as your eyes search for the next. I would like to add a plea for folks to always center their images though... my God, if the image doesn't fill the width, the left margin (or right), placement is disturbing.

Well, poetry being poetry, it can break the rules a bit. Very long poems will still have the same issues, though.
