Good point Sharon..
I don't think I've ever used the phrase "resembles poetry" (sounds kinda negative) I would probably say "reads like poetry"..in any case I would take it to mean that the words in question are better read than sung.
One of my favorite writer/poets was Richard Brautigan..a sort of Post-Beat writer who got a big college following in the 60's and 70's. Friend of Ginsberg and Kesey and that California bunch...
I actually tried putting a few of his shorter pieces to music...didn't work very well...Ed Saunders from the Fuggs did the same thing with some poetry...didn't work for him either.
Bob
Actually..Rod Mckuen did real well at it..financially at least...he had already lost his voice by then tho...
