Andy has included poetry before: http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Rudyard_Kipling&oldid=7656 I would say it's relevant in the case of a poet. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 21:51, 27 January 2008 (EST)

I see no reason why a poem cannot be part of an encyclopedic entry, especially if the individual who is the subject of the entry is a poet. (See Carl Sandburg entry)
That the length of a poem might exceed the body of an article should in no way disqualify it from being a part of an encyclopedic entry. The spacing of lines in a poem is an arbitrary issue and can assume different formats. The reasoning here escapes me.
While I see nothing cardinally wrong with a three-word "opinion" at the end of the poem, maybe it should be removed.
There is no copyright issue. All that has to be done is for one to request pertinent, additional information in connection with the poem.
