Answer 4

Answer 5

*music as poetry

Answer 6

or lyrics not music

Answer 7

poems turns into lyrics are in songs, songs are MUSIC

Answer 8

or would the only type of poem that can be considered as music be a ballad? @iluvreading bc i wouldnt suggest a haiku be turned into a song lol

Answer 9

no, songs have a melody and harmony and counter melody and such. Words are just something to say while you sing the melody. It would be different if people were posting lyrics from their own original songs, but it's straight poetry which is literature not music.

Music: The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.

I don't see poetry mentioned in there. Do you?

Yes, I suppose music contains poetry in a way, but poetry does not contain music.

Answer 10

okay but you need lyrics to have a melody AND WHAT ARE LYRICS POEMS!

Answer 11

Im not really familiar with different types of poetry but dont a lot of poems have a sort of rythm?

Answer 12

No, you definitely don't need lyrics to have a melody.

Answer 13

yes they do so they are considered music me and my music teacher have been over this multiply times because that is how i write my songs

Answer 14

So posting poems would be perfectly acceptable here in the music group? Not lyrics, poems.

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

the CoC says nothing about poems not being acceptable in the music section

Answer 17

ok, great, if you a melody to go with your lyrics then I think that's fine to post them. however, I would ask that you also post the actual. Strictly poetry without music is literature and should be posted in the literature section. I don't understand how anybody disagrees with that.

Answer 19

Even though there is technically a better place for poems?

Answer 20

Answer 23

Answer 24

How? @sisike

Answer 25

it has beats and rhythm and its meaningful. you can sing poetry if you wanted to! its a form of music! it flows.

Answer 26

So a freeverse is just as much music as a symphony?

Answer 42

Answer 43

noise as in garbage or just noise?

Answer 44

so only music with lyrics can qualify as poetry? is what youre saying right?

Answer 45

well i dont consider it noise i find music relaxing. noise is just noise like a child screamin or someone talking but music is a different type of noise its noise with a Melody

Answer 46

well its like this music is just a sound with instruments or stuff like that a song is music with lyrics.

Answer 47

noise is noise. not as in garbage. its noise how would you describe it besides sound? it would be noise. Im just saying that music with no lyrics is just noise or sound. but music with lyrics has more meaning more soul.

Answer 58

Yes they are because what are ballads any poem written in similar style. Any light, simple song, especially one of sentimental or romantic character, having two or more stanzas all sung to the same melody.

Answer 59

Actually, if you think about. You don't even need words at all. It's just been a nice addition to music through the years, but poetry is not required to write a song.

Answer 60
