and so what if it's poetry? the iliad and the odyssey are poetry. so is beowulf. why is that a bad thing? it's simply how a lot of ancient literature was written.
the poetic rhyme and rhythm were used to aid the memory before there was the written word. they also aid the mesmerising effect of their rendition.
this is just evidence that {some of} the works origins predate the written versions.
the clash between poetic sections and non-poetic show distinctive differences in style that also mark their being of different time origins.
