are we saying that songwriting can't be/isn't/is separate from poetry or that songwriters, as a general rule, aren't poets? because certainly someone like robert burns is a poet and the songs he wrote are essentially poetry. and if robert burns could compose songs that are poetry, why couldn't someone compose the same sort of songs today--and thus be a songwriter who writes songs that are poetry?
