The purpose of poetry?
Well, it is used to express emotions and thoughts on life.

It's a form of Japanese poetry constrained to 17 syllables, 5 syllables the first line, 7 syllables the middle line, and 5 more at the end. The purpose is poetry, as in art. Culture.
Here are some computer Haikus for your amusement:
Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down.
ABORTED request:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
Printer not ready.
Could be a fatal error.
Have a pen handy?
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
The code was willing,
It considered your request,
But the chips were weak.
Errors have occurred.
We won't tell you where or why.
Lazy programmers.
Server's poor response
Not quick enough for browser.
Timed out, plum blossom.
Login incorrect
Only consistant spellers
enter this system.
This site has been moved.
We'd tell you where, but then we'd
have to delete you.
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.
With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.
A fault reduces
your expensive computer
to warm fragrant stone.
There is a chasm
of carbon and silicon
the software can't bridge.
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Software is like that.
To have no errors
Would be life without meaning
No struggle, no joy.
No keyboard present.
Hit F1 to continue.
One hand claps loudly.
Rather than a beep
Or a rude error message,
These words: "File not found."
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

That is an intriguing question. The purpose of poetry?
I was not aware poetry had to have a purpose --- that's the great thing about poetry.
Anyway, most Haiku, at least classical Japanese Haiku, are reflections on nature. I suppose the purpose is to create an appreciation of the natural world.

well, it is poetry. What is poetry for? To elicit some sort of emotion through the use of words.
