Jonathan Z asked:


I want to get into poetry. I took some poetry classes in high school and loved it. I’m a musician, but i feel like the lyrics I write are weak and can be strengthened through the art of poetry. Can anyone recommend me some great poets or good books to get started on?
thanks

Is music like poetry with a tune or just random words with a tune?

*Emo Vampire* asked:


my sister and i disagree on this. she says music is just words put with a tune. I say that music is pretty much just poetry that has been put with the tune the writer chooses. I say this because most songs rhyme like poetry and I’ve showed her lyrics to prove it. She thinks I’m wrong. She wants more proof. So who is right? Is is just plain words with a tune or is it like poetry that goes with a chosen tune? Who is more correct? Me or Emmy?

How does a person find out if their poetry and/or paintings are truly valuable? If someone has a hobby of writing poetry or painting and that want to have an understanding of just how “good” they are in the grand scheme of it all, how do you find out?
