I'm trying to set up a poetry book

I want each new poem to start on a new page but I am having a hard time getting them to align the the top of the page.

I hit return to move the line down and by the time it gets to the page I want it on it skips half way down the page

I hit delete to get move the line back up and it jumps back one page to the end of the other poem

How do I get this to work the way I want the document set up?

it is very frustrating

don't do this with returns (it's messy, and can especially cause all kinds of problems if you have to add or delete a line of text somewhere)

do this with page breaks (insert->page break)or with paragraph styles (start this style of paragraph on a new page)
