Why do people answer questions with poetry?

I mean - c'mon. Someone says "tell me what you think of my poem" and you respond with some of your own. What are you accomplishing? Does it make you feel special? Is there no other way you can get people to read your poetry than to include it in answers?

Or are you actually trying to grandstand and say 'hey, my poetry is sooo much better than yours'?

Because I imagine you'd be surprised at how often it's not....

Shiny was funny, the other two "roses are red" answers are just stupid.

Well, what was I going to expect, right?

Roses are red, violets are blue, this answer is just for you.

Its more often then not for attention. They probably just search for poetry questions and paste their poem everywhere.
