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
Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:
- Ben Harper "I'll Rise"
Maya Angelou "Still I Rise" - The Jam "That's Entertainment"
Paul Drew "Entertainment" - Peter Gabriel "Mercy Street"
Anne Sexton "45 Mercy Street" - Dum Dum Girl "Rimbaud Eyes"
Arthur Rimbaud "The Drunken Boat"
