  1. Poetry encapsulates a lot of hidden complexities! The computation tower of a well crafted poem of even haiku can be huge! They as a rule can embed a lot of information about humanity in little text-form, and sometimes some very complex (fundamentally computable, but so extremelly complex is hard to think as, like emotions of love and hate, all encoded inside and transmitted by that few sentences)

  2. Starting to learn human laguage through poetry is GREAT! (for humans and LLMs alike) It is fundamentally human. This approach of Wolfram's of 'first trying to formalize the first meaning of each thing' is not the way to go, by trying straight on to "get" poetry, you "get" humanity. That's what poetry is! We don't want the model to understand the language, but the the human behind trying to comunicate through it!
