Poetic MLA format

Quick reference for anyone needing to understand how to do an in text citation for a poem within an essay that requires MLA format:

"I'm a poem/seriously I am/I'm really not tho" (BURKE 1-3). 

It has to be in quotations introduced with a comma. The slashes let you know when there is a line break. The authors last name and the line numbers go in parentheses. Boom.
