THE CONNECTION BETWEEN POETRY AND MUSIC: As we all know, there has always been a historic connection between poetry and music. Through the ages, much poetry was performed to music. Music is definitely poetry. And vice-versa. When examined more critically, the art forms of music and poetry are almost synonymous: consider that a poem evokes, passion, love, hate, anger, loss, sorrow. Music, even without lyrics can bring across the same emotions. When you add lyrics or poetry to the music, a story emerges - which then enhances the meaning and emotion, making it a song. Poetry like music exists to allow for the expression of human emotions and very often, people can connect through music or poetry by understanding a shared feeling that is otherwise difficult to express. Another similarity that exists between music and poetry, is that songs themselves have to be rhythmic. The same is true about the flow of a poem. Rhythm is what makes music as well as poetry. Poetry is about flow, rhythm, meaning and expression. Instrumental music expresses, flows and shows just as much emotion as music does with words.
