Maureen, I love your haiku! The poet's muse has x-ray vision... and your write illustrates that so very nicely. Beautifully expressed and enjoyed!

...and herein lies one of the big differences between poetry and lyrics. Unless of course your Bob Dylan and then the lines become blurred.

Hmmm :) I'm not so sure, fluff poetry vs fluff lyrics. There's certainly other masters out there, Leonard Cohen, Matt Johnson, Tori Amos; beauty, art, poetry, music, all relative to the beholder. That said my Selling Songs To Set To Music is a musing on the death of poetry and poets having to write lyrics to survive. Love the conversation :) xomo!
