Can you explain more clearly what your poetry requires beyond the
plain-text formatting of ```...``` sections?  The only thing I can think of
is that it will appear in a monowidth font.

Enviroments. We already have one: plain text. We could have something like

O beautiful for patriot's dream that sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears!
America! America!  God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law!
        --one of the verses not usually taught in U.S. schools
