Lyric poetry

[billy]

here's my problem, i haven't education enough to know lyric poetry. my vision has not been taught to see things more than a nuance, sure i can spot an odd metaphor but sometimes things that slap my face i miss, and vice verse. i have a need to understand the poem, i don't hum or whistle to poetry even lyrical ones, tunes on the other often grab my attention simply because of sound patterns songs like the birdy song, though i'm sure that one wasn't lyrical.
