Wonders Unseen

Peering through a telescope,
the Horse Head Nebula swirls in green.
Casting aside times when she lacked hope,
the universe emerges on a vast screen.
Behold welcome wonders heretofore unseen.

Very nice poem for Francine's contest, and I can see why she chose this one. This is a fine example of an English Quintain. I have one question: How did you get your typed characters italicized here?
