Entropy
is
(
in
the
usual
definition)
an
extensive
property,
so
a
longer
text
(
like
a
sports
article)
will
mostly
have
higher
entropy.

Entropy of a system is also affected by how "random" its parts are. Now, it depends on whether you're measuring/calculating entropy on letters (there should be no real difference if poem and article are in the same language) or on words (there's even more to this, but I digress).

Finally, entropy and compression are indeed generally related, but you make it sound like low entropy (very ordered), indeed related to good compressibility, would increase the "value" (since you compare it to a poem, which I assume you're considering higher "quality" text).

Maybe you also just got confused with high and low, since your post would make perfect sense by replacing "low entropy" with "high entropy"...
