Hi DracaDeco,

The only practical way of doing this is to change the Style that each poem's heading is in, to an appropriate Heading Style, so that a proper TOC can be created. Provide the existing table of contents has exactly the same names as the poem headings, you could use Find/Replace, to look for each one and change the Style. Having dome that, you could delete the existing table of contents and insert a Word TOC.

The above process could be automated via a macro, but you'd need to eliminate any page numbers, tabs, etc from the existing table of contents and it could well take longer to develop & test the macro than the manual process I've already outlined.
