I've written poetry since I was nine, and I would say I'm pretty good at it. I also really like music, and I can create simple melodies that I hum to myself. But whenever I try to write a song, my attempts fall flat, and I don't understand why. I'm good at rhyming and metering and I've written poetry before that, with a tune, could be turned into a song, but when I actually set out to write a _song_, not a _poem_, I am disappointed with the results. Is this common? And how do I fix this? How can I transition from poetry to song-writing, even though they are similar?
