By the way, why...
JamieJamie, your're doing it again. Please get a grip of yourself. I am quite happy with Mark Weiss's definition. Let's leave it at that.
By the way, why are you so eager to see a difference? Do you (along with the majority of literature critics) think song is not "worthy" of being treated as seriously as poetry, hence your need to create an artificial separation between poems accompanied by music and those not. Maybe this is the elephant in the room.

David, you keep prohibiting the use of words which are inevitably involved
in the discussion, or cancelling them by saying they refer to something
'superficial'. And here, yet again, you seem not to have understood what
Michael has said.
Look again at his sentence and then at what you've made of it. There is no
relation at all.
By the way, I have never used the word 'innate' in this connection -
perhaps you're thinking of 'inherent' which has a different meaning, from
the Latin inhaerare - to stick to. It doesn't seem to me especially vague.
Perhaps this will seem nit-picking to you - I'd call it trying to be
accurate, and mistakenly attributing words to people so as to shoot them
down inaccurate and unhelpful.
