I would agree with the music. Which is unfortunate because music doesn't tend to encompass all the different forms that poetry possesses, and both have their place. But, on some level, they both explore condensed use of metaphor/rhyme/etc to create powerful emotional effects in the audience, so they share a lot of similarities.
For me, learning to write poetry and explore has been great, although funny enough one of the best books to help me with the writing of poetry was Writing Better Lyrics by Pattison, as his advice helps a great deal with poetry (with the above caveat about forms still holding true).
- yellowapple 6y ago> Which is unfortunate because music doesn't tend to encompass all the different forms that poetry possesses I mean, can't it? Yeah, most music seems to be pretty restricted in lyrical form, but it'd be interesting to see more freeform lyrical styles. The closest thing in my mind would be something like jazz fusion or progressive rock.
- runevault 6y agoCan it? Sure. But so far I've never heard of say a Sestina being made into a song (at least in modern times). Would such forms fit when tied to melody? I have no clue.
