Do you think the song "kiss me" by sixpence none the richer is fit to be considered poetry?

Question

..my prof in english asked us to think of an english song that's fit to be a form of poetry considering the diction(choice of words),figurative language,rhythm,rhyme,pt. of view or persona, tone and theme..we should also prepare ourselves to sing even just a stanza of the song in front of the class..,this song just popped out of my mind..what do you think?Do you have other songs to suggest?

Answer 1

It's okay- it's better than a lot of pop music is as far as "poetics" is concerned. If I may suggest, check out anything by Jewel if you're wanting someone more modern, or, if you're okay with classics, look at Simon and Garfunkel- they were/are probably the most poetic musicians ever.
