The inside text is wikitext, but line breaks and initial spaces are preserved. Output is wrapped in a <div class="poem">, so you can do global styling of poems per-wiki.
Additionallly you can add other allowed HTML attributes on the <poem> tag just as you would for a <div> or <pre>, such as setting one-off custom styles or additional CSS class names.
Silly question, but is this really only useful for poems? Would it not be useful at en.wp for other stuff too? I'll have to have a play and see what else it could be good for...
Please don't use it for something else, even if it seems somewhat useful for another purpose. It is _designed_ for poems, and it is supposed to mark up only poems. If you find another use, a new tag can be introduced that behaves in a very similar way.
