i write poetic texts in org mode and i'd like to be able to export them to odt with their horizontal spacing preserved if possible. 

it's poetry but not of the traditional kind. text is often heavily indented or spread all over the place. at present i indent text with `M-i`, which runs `tab-to-tab-stop` and inserts 8 spaces at at time.

on exporting to odt, all spacing is lost, my lines are left justified. i tried using verse blocks, but it outputs in monospace, and only indents my lines about 2-3 spaces, rather than say the 40 or 50 i have inserted.

ideally i'd like to be able to do anything i might do in a word processor in emacs, and have it preserved on export, if possible.

EDIT: i run emacs 26.1, org-mode 9.3
