Analyzing Poetry We just started poetry. How do you analyze the lyrics of a song and explain why or how they seem poetic? Then we have to examine...

Any song
lyric you choose has some kind of appeal to you.  It may be you like the sound of the words,
such as "itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka-dot bikini."  it's just fun to say, but
it's fun because of assonance and consonance (the repetition of vowel and consonant sounds). 
Perhaps you like the lyrics because they express emotions or draw pictures ( and ).  Really,
anything you might pick will have poetic elements which you can identify.
