These are some of the uses of poetry! But you are correct in this: famously, it makes nothing happen

A problem here is not understanding what has utility in the world and what does not, which is the consequence of a lack of perspective and depth, which is part of what we learn by studying poetry, but that would take more than 4 week introduction to grasp.
