Yes, Robert, that is the intention and practical outworking of songwriting. I’m talking though more about the aesthetical similarities between lyrics (as text) and poems on the page. Again, I do accept that there is a formal distinction, but I think that in many cases this distinction isn’t as pronounced as some try to argue it is.
