Interesting. Thanks!
I am not saying the results are skewed, but there are lots of poems that are in Wikisource that lack Wikidata entries. For instance, this list of Emily Dickinson poems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Emily_Dickinson_poems The first poem in her template is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Success_is_Counted_Sweetes <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Success_is_Counted_Sweetest> which has its own Wikidata entry: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7632593 This poem was not listed on the Wikidata query poems by women: http://tinyurl.com/kq4bq8x nor on the query poems by women on English Wikipedia, so all poems are not counted as they should be. This is not to say that there is not probably a poem gap (wonderful term). Just that we should check the numbers before we go public with them.

The answer is 5. If you do the same query for men, you get 255. If you restrict the queries to poems that have articles on English Wikipedia you get 1 and 57, i.e. according to Wikidata there is only one article about a poem by a woman on English Wikipedia. This probably isn't accurate, but it's still a surprising result. While I understand that poetry (and writing in general) has historically been the domain of men, does a 50 to 1 ratio really reflect the historical reality? Anyway, just something to chew on. If you want to run the queries yourself (or modify them) here they are: Poems by women: http://tinyurl.com/kq4bq8x Poems by men: http://tinyurl.com/m7mqynq Poems by women with articles on English Wikipedia: http://tinyurl.com/mzj6wak Poems by men with articles on English Wikipedia: http://tinyurl.com/mnmsnkl
