I think not much hope, Ray: first read, then acted upon. Focuses the poet though.
If poetry is delivered orally by the poet, to the hearer, then the hearer has not read it. Furthermore, if meaning is imparted, it is assumed, the person either read what was written themselves, or it was read to them. Hopefully, if it is inspiring, they will act upon it. Sadly, as you wrote, there is not much hope of that happening.
