I don't think they are dangerous. It is hella easy to get things classified. The intel sector has different segments. There is a side to it that especially runs in the CIA that is very academic. A lot of these guys have Phds. But instead of continuing a career in a university they basically do the same thing inside the CIA, except everything they do is classified. And like a university they mostly can work on whatever they want at that level.
If anyone has ever written a poem at a university then someone has written one in the CIA equivalent, and it's classified. I knew a guy in that system that was doing research on Second Life (the game). There are classified play throughs of Second Life. I'm pretty sure there has to be a classified poem somewhere.
The CIA testing Second Life isn't that crazy because it is a potentially good way to meet people clandestinely as opposed to face to face meetings where people can be tracked. And they also needed to research if terrorists could use it for the same purpose. But if the CIA's academic side is interested in communication generally of course someone has played around with signalling something with meter or placement of alliteration.
The other likely source of a classified poem would be if it is a part of collected intel. Especially if it was gathered from a foreign government and shared with us. Out of respect and sensitivity to other countries collection methods (so they continue sharing with us), if it is foreign collected it ends up super classified. Often SAP (special access program).
So let's say the British make an exploit (worm) that reads people's Outlook and dumps all emails to their servers. And someone writes a poem. And then they share their database of emails with us. Super classified.

I know for a fact they are.
Why do you think the poems are so dangerous they need to be classified?
