Are all songs lyric poems?

Hillary-
All poems are lyric poems because they are the lyrics to the song. I hope everyone does well on their test!

Taylor,


I think that all songs are lyric poetry. They each have some kind of flow and most line ryme.

Hillary- I don't think that all songs are lyric poems. Lyric poems ryme, and not all songs ryme. Sooo...I'm not sure, but that's what I think.

Molly R said...

Hey,

I think that all songs are lyrical poems because songs are just poems but they have a beat to them.

Hiya!!
:P
I don't think all songs are lyric poems, because some songs don't even have lyrics. Such as Mozart, or Bethoven.

Buenos Dias!! :0)

About Hillarys comment, I think that not all songs are lyric poems because some songs don't have lyrics and that means it isnt a lyric poem such as composers in the old days!

Peace Out..

No, because not all songs have lyrics like classical music such as Tchaikovksy ( my favorite :))

Since some songs don't have lyrics, lyric poems aren't songs.

~*unnati*~ said...

never mind i changed my mind...there are some songs that just have music without words and they can't have lyrics. But the songs with lyrics are lyric poems!
ROCK ON

Tori said...

I don;t think all lyric poems are songs because not all of them have a flow, or they aren't all poems you can sing. One example of lyric poetry is February Twilight and I don;t think youn can sing that.

abby said...

I think all songs are lyric poetry because usually the songs rhyme and they have a rythmical pattern and they get enthusiastic so i think all songs are lyric poetry

I think that some lyric poems can rhyme but they don't have to follow a beat which a song has to

Aksha said...

I don't think that all songs are lyric poems, because I think that no poem is the same.

GOOD LOOK ON THE TUESDAY.

Mr. Watson said...

Hillary, to set the record straight; songs can be lyric poems, narrative poems, free verse, or just about anything else. MOST songs, however, are either narrative or lyric poems. Hope that helps:)

Mary Kate said...

what exactly is a meter?

Mr. Watson said...

We'll chat before class, Mary Kate. I'll make sure you get it before you take the test:)

Cristian said...

xoxoxo

Claudia said...

I think that this poem is a free verse. I think this is a funny poem because it is using types of vegetables that sound like other words. In the poem there are metaphors and rhymes for poetic devices.

p.s Can free verse poetry be humorous?
