To me, that's somewhat make-work. Why not use a simple indented paragraph class instead? (Yes, someone could argue that semantically, lines of a poem are more "blockquote" than paragraph, but...c'mon...). They used the same coding for LPW's business card, handed to someone. thus, it's their "go-to" for anything that they feel should be indented and set off with vertical whitespace above and below the cited text.

Yes, I completely agree. That's what I was talking about when I said that tex2002ans pointed out the error of my ways. I agree that many things could be considered quotes but as you say they're using blockquote for a generic block with whitespace above and below, which I can sympathize with until you instead use the double class trick; e.g., div class="block poem". As far as make-work, if you read their instructions about their whole tool chain, well, my eyes glazed over; made me wonder how many volunteers they really get.
