SPRING POST 1: MUSIC AS LITERATURE

I believe that music can be considered as literature because most music rhymes and provides a story much like poems do.  Literature is writing with expression of a character.  When we describe the things we are writing it is considered as literature.  Poems and songs are very similar because musical artists are the poets of our time.  Poems aren't as popular as songs but they are very similar.  Novels are different than peoms and songs because in songs or poems, the poet chooses words carefully to explain something in a shorter way but still providing very valuable information.  Rappers are similar to poets because they choose their words carefully but rappers write/rap to a beat.
