Poetry in Song

National Poetry Month is here
Shift your brain into high gear
Ponder a song that was ere a poem
Plenty to choose, I'm sure you know 'em
In the comments have them arrayed
After nine you'll hear some played

Here's what we played:

Simon & Garfunkel "Richard Cory"
Edwin Arlington Robinson "Richard Cory"

Ra Ra Riot "Dying Is Fine"
e.e. cummings "Dying Is Fine"

Leonard Cohen "Suzanne"
Leonard Cohen "Suzanne"

The Waterboys "Mad as the Mist and Snow"
W.B. Yeats "Mad as the Mist and Snow"
