How to define modern poetry?

Modern poetry and popular lyrics do have a lot in common, both of which have broken through the limitations of traditional meter in many aspects and are more free in form and content. In essence, lyrics also have the artistic characteristics, expressive techniques and emotional characteristics of poetry, but they are still very different from poetry. The main reason is that the lyrics are influenced and restricted by the music melody in terms of structure, language and rhythm, which in turn restricts and affects the melody. Therefore, compared with modern poetry, popular lyrics have much less freedom and cannot be written at will. Moreover, the language should be easy to understand and try to avoid homophonic "abnormal meaning"; For example, I keep singing "You know I'm waiting for your mother" in my head, and that feeling is as awkward as it is. A good song is ruined by a bad homophonic.

Popular lyrics and modern poetry come down in one continuous line, so writing a good poem is the basis of creating popular lyrics. The experience of poetry creation can also bring great help to the creation of lyrics. The most remarkable thing is that successful poetry creation can make a person's words more concise, accurate and expressive, which will greatly promote the creation of lyrics. Poetry is different from other styles in three aspects: concise and rhythmic language, more powerful expression and more rigorous structure. If poetry wants to have a moving expressive force in a relatively narrow space, it is impossible not to do these three things, and the lyrics are the same. Some friends' works are almost as free as writing prose poems. Although they can vividly express their inner feelings, the language is repetitive and even irregular in rhythm and rhythm. Even if the lyrics are good and touching, it is difficult to turn them into a song.

It can be said that lyrics creation: the first taboo, the language is not refined, not beautiful; The second taboo, rhythm and phonology do not match; The third taboo is abstruse or obscure language or simple preaching; The fourth taboo, the structure is chaotic; The fifth taboo is that there is no climax; Sixth, avoid bad homophones, destroy them without building them.
