Lyrics and Poems

Have you ever noticed the lyrics within every song? Lyrics are the words found within the song and often it would mean something. But the thing is, that is sort of the same thing with poems. Think of it this way, certain forms of poems are similar to that of lyrics. So if you were to know how to write poems, sure enough you'll probably know how to write songs. Some things that both lyrics and poems have in common is that most of them rhyme, some are sort and/or long, and they are placed in the same format. Although this may be so, they are also a bit different in that poems you would just read them and with songs you would sing.
