A poem is a lyric waiting for music[/

Hey cool, :lol:

I thought this line

But once in it I'm only deeper wading

worked better as

But once deeper in it, I'm only wading

otherwise I think it's really good.

Poems themselves don't do it for me - I have to have something to write about. Check out my lyrics for "Toothbrush" - is that still on this site?

Best,

The poem was excellent. It used great metaphors to give the listener imagination, and still stayed on track of what the poem meant.]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club pierson https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/poems/#post-80195 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/poems/#post-79972 Wed, 15 Dec 2004 17:07:00 +0000 'Cause love's what makes a hero just a man

That's a result of the meter, or specifically the recurring stressed/unstressed syllables in the foot. There's lots of combinations that essentially make poetry sing.

"A piece of literature written in meter; verse"

doesn't sound too different from lyrics

"relating to a category of poetry that expresses subjective thoughts and feelings, often in a songlike style or form"

There are many poems that make great lyrics and vice versa.

I may be wrong but I fell people view poetry as write some words and make it sound good.
There are so many factors involved. What type of poem do you want to write? Haiku, limerick, sonnet, ode, ect... Then there's syntax (the way words are arranged), Diction (type of words used), Trope (hidden meanings) and a million other things to consider. If you have a desire to learn about poetry buy a poetry for poets book, or something like that. I have been discovering my own appreciations for poetry lately, and by no means am an expert, but I do know there's more to poetry then meets the eye.

My suggestion, buy a book on poetry]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club Rotten https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/poems/#post-79560 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/poems/#post-79449 Sun, 12 Dec 2004 12:47:43 +0000
To me the main thing that differentiates poems from lyrics is the structure. Lyrics usually have verses, a bridge, and a chorus. On the other hand poems are more freelance...you can use up as many lines as you want in whatever way you want as opposed to song lyrics where you have about 3 or 4 minutes to get your point across and not bore the person listening to the song. Either way...a good peice of writting is a good peice of writting. :D


again, nice job

Poems / lyrics call them what you like if you can make them up and put music to them then it then must be a song ( ballard )

I don't know if I have helped or not but am sure many others have thier own opions on this and remember that's what they are opions and opions only .
