Poetry

Thinking about the "21 nights" book and a thought struck me, hasn't Prince been writing poetry for a long time? Lyrics from a lot of his music if just recited, instead of sung, sound like poetry to me .....
Try it with Purple Rain or A question of u..... cool

Absolute and sheer poetry. Many a great songwriter/lyricist is merely a poet and storyteller. That's why we R drawn 2 them and that's why we stay in their everloving fold. heart

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81
