Makes sense. Of course, some of the singer/songwriters who classify themselves as poets really do reinforce the opinion that the general public has about poets: ie, that they are utterly pretentious wankers.
Nonetheless, poetry must activate some of the higher order thought processes in order to be appreciated. Which is not to say that all things called poems are poetry... and also not to say that poetry is any different to any other well-produced, thought provoking artwork.
