As a songwriter poetry could turn out to be a blessing in disguise to have poetry in order to pull lines from here and there when writing music. Of course it might be harder to add a full (coherent) embodied meaning to the song using this technique. One could possibly be in surprise at how well it actually works out sometimes.
