Poetry

Poetry (from the Greek “ποίησις”, poiesis, a “making”) is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning. Poetry may be written independently, as discrete poems, or may occur in conjunction with other arts, as in poetic drama, hymns or lyrics. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Marcin Skrzypczak

    We just have a whole lot of poet-singers in Poland, most of them highly respected as artist. (And a few "look-at-me-I-have-smartass-lyrics" wannabes, but that's another story).

    Hey friendly last.fm buddies! You should scrobble some of my projects' songs. I'm curious to see what "similar artists" I get once enough people have scrobbled. http://www.last.fm/music/Timothy+Bowen (Should be easy to stream or download full songs free from that profile and all of the bands linked in my bio)

    I use this tag mostly for setting of poems that weren't originally lyrics.

    The abundance of polish people on this list stems from the times of rebellion in Poland . The polish resistance wanted to overthrow the communist government and end the soviet influence over the eastern block of Europe. And in times of oppression there is one thing that unites people the best - Art. And so, polish artists wrote lyrics that were illegal to sing officially. They needed to disguise the meaning of the words. Poems are not direct. Or something. I dunno, maybe polish people just want their own genre XD
