Yesterday I shared a song that takes a traditional Christmas song and adjusted it for pagans.
There’s a lot of people who would be angry about it.
But to me… songs are a different type of poetry – one that I am not very good at. I have written millions of poems and only one song.
I admire music, a lot. It has gotten me through some of the worst things in my life.
And I have a song that I associate with every heartbreak I have suffered.
So, I see somgs such as that the same way I do someone doing a rework of an old poem. As long as the original is attributed – or made obvious….why does it matter if someone has taken a different view?
I love new views on things.

I’ve heard people say they don’t like poetry. When they do, I ask whether they like songs. Of course, the say they do. They gets a confused expression when I tell them that songs are poetry.

I ended up excited because I wrote a song and my mom was confused. “But you write poetry all the time… isn’t that the same thing?” I had to explain that yes, it is a type of poetry but it is a very different type than what I normally write. For me, I see them as two branches of the same tree.
