> I have no clue how it makes things any simpler

I'm sure it would make it simpler to her and probably keeps her motivated and encourages her to get a better understanding. It seems more of a way for her to personally understand the kernel, and she is just sharing the poems with everyone else for whoever wants to read.

Yes! That's definitely the way I think about it. These are just my way of taking notes, and I thought they'd be fun to share. I do it this way because writing a poem requires a bit of reflection, so, instead of just retaining nodes of information here and there I'm also capturing connections and concepts. The novelty of writing in prose also keeps things from seeming tedious. :)
