When I came to the pigpen here, I had written 50 plus songs. I didn't even know what a poem was. But I had already visited several websites trying to push my lyrics and got ignored and banned and yadayada.
Here, I posted all my 'lyrics' as poems. And got lots of feedback.
But here, I learned real poetry. Forms and meter and I proceeded to make 50+ more 'songs' out of poems I wrote after being here.
I also turned other people's poems into songs, to see if I could.
For me there is no distinction besides the music.
There is a Tool song 'die eier von satan' it's pretty sick sounding, you look up the lyrics and it's in German, oh wow, translate the lyrics and it's a recipe for donuts....
My point is, you look up the lyrics. Not the poem.
If you want rules on lyrics I suggest living in Nashville
There is a music and media forum here where I also posted all my 'poems' as 'songs' with the music it was intended for. I just don't think this is a place for music critique
