It would simply be the effort to understand it (the new poetry) with the old schematic conception of poetry and then this may result in disequilibrium presuming that process is found not to work. Note how this presumes some context in which we are actively engaged in / with the object or item. Or at least that our efforts would receive feedback from social interaction which might get us to Vygotsky. Piaget argued it must be part of an environmental challenge that is posed. Note how this may be unlike the simple reaction to hearing some reading in a crowd/audience. A more appropriate illustration of this process is here on tips as people think about what constitutes poetry, altho there is hardly the environmental challenge that is more salient in (Piagetian) cognitive development. As efforts of assimilation fail, we experience a tension or discord that motivates accommodation and presumably movement toward equilibrium/cognitive adaptation. Well, at least that's my schema...
