I know that Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon were covered in my classes. <BR/><BR/>I do think that music lyrics are often a more accessible form of poetry for the modern listener/reader, but I'd argue that not all song lyrics would qualify as poetry. <BR/><BR/>Like omniaif wrote, I think that poetry is a skill and art form that not everyone has the talent and ability to write.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970258.post-1162848841997980632006-11-06T21:34:00.000+00:002006-11-06T21:34:00.000+00:00Good post.

I believe that their are just as many poets out there today, but like in it's hayday weren't well known (only a few) untill other generations got ahold of it. I'm surprised at how many poetry blogs I come across, almost as much as pure short storie ones.<BR/><BR/>I am an avid reader and I own no poetry books. I believe that poetry is a skill that you're born with and eventually develope into an art form, I lack this, so I find it hard to read. But Thats just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
