My point exactly, Jamie.
For me there can be no separation, as the aesthetic mode is the common aspect that decides the matter -- that songs and poems are the same aesthetically, and if so, in what manner, apart from the very superficial and obvious formal ones you and Peter point out, do they differ. Again, for me they don't.
