Welcome to Wild, Kimberly. Yes, it's perfectly OK to post song lyrics. At the top of the post you might want to note they are song lyrics, though, as most of our members are more accustomed to critiquing poetry. Writing and critiquing song lyrics is very different, i.e., what works for songs might not work for poetry and vice versa. Songs, meant to be enjoyed aurally and not visually, tend to be better remembered and sung if they're simpler. Also, there is meter and often rhyme to contend with. If we know right up front it's a song, we might be better able to help. Best, M (Administrator) |
