coleridge is an epic poem.

songs have lyrics put rhythmically to music.

an apple can be green and a lime can be green, but apples are not limes. just because a song shares a characteristic with a poem does not make a song a poem.

coleridge's piece is a lyrical ballad. not even close to an epic.

in other words, you haven't read as much poetry as i have. nice to see that you still don't engage points. a characteristic isn't a categorical label.

I need to look up prosody, but that's the state's definition. I can't trust that.
