Of course the poem is bad. But it doesn't bother me very much because I can see the reason it was published: Yoko is a public figure who is of interest to many millions of people, so it's interesting to see a sample of the poetry she writes whatever its failings may be. If they had published the same poem but it was by someone we never heard of, it would bother me much more because I couldn't see any reason for its publication.
