Yes, no there aren't. See the "Crampy Booby" thread in General for a discussion of what is considered "verse" (basically everything) and why (because I'm ignorant).
Poetry just is; whether you see it as a catalyst of Enlightenment/Awakening/Liberation, or a waste of time, is entirely up to you. No Screaming Guru, No $19.95 Book, No Well-Intentioned Friend, can grant you the answers; you must learn to look within, to the essence of life that may be hidden through a lifetime of experience living outside yourself.
