Your digression about bad poetry reminds me: I was reading an anthology of some Martin Gardner essays, and he mentions the difference between "poetry" and "verse"--the latter incorporating a lot of authors who are known for one particular work, that enjoys a lot of cultural popularity (and is enjoyed by lots of people) even when supposed high art is not--but still separate from bad poetry in a way. Interesting distinctions to draw!
