I'm pretty sure it's scraping a certain number of characters not whole lines. It took just over three lines of my poem, which was in IP, so short lines. When it scrapes non-poem posts, it takes maybe the equivalent of line on the computer screen. See here for some examples. So, as per Roger's suggestion, a couple full lines of white text would do it. This has the added bonus that you can include a message for rssing should you so desire
