There's definitely a disconnect, but as pointed out here recently, we just need to hit something like "critical mass" for POET to follow a similar pattern. 
LWLG had been on a decade-long slumber just like POET and they've seen their fair share of 50%+ swings.  Look back to late Jan, they reached a multi-year high of around $2.00, and within 2mo dropped right back down to the low $1 range. A huge and bewildering disappointment for the longs. But the plan hadn't changed. They held on, the message boards remained mostly positive (which is something I think we can all agree POET has struggled with at times) 
and the stock slowly acquired more and more eyes. Once enough people have it on their watchlist, one NR is all it takes to set things in motion and I suspect we'll see a proportional rise in market cap.  Frankly, I think POET market cap will dwarf LWLG in the long run.
