Is poetry better with or without background music?

This is the place for readers of poetry. Discuss poetry and literary art. You can also discuss music here, including lyrics. Also, you can discuss poets themselves, in addition to poetry.

I think it is a good idea to add a background music, it helps to release the emotion in every piece of the poetry.

I like to hear the poem without the Music. I do not love to hear poem in very loud voice.

It requires background music for it is in a way complimentary as long as it doesn't overpower the poem.

The background music depends on the poem being spoken. Some might need the background music to intensify what I being said by the poet.

I am lover of music. That having been said, my attention would be divided between the poem and music. Hence, I would prefer poetry without background music.

I suppose that depends on the poem, but I have always thought the words themselves were the musical aspect. But, I am not an expect on poetry.

I think every piece of poetry must have a background rythm that goes well with the words. It might be a slow motion music or a faster one but all in all i think there must be some background music.

It's my belief that music is an incredibly versatile art form that can be paired with a wide variety of other creative mediums, including poetry.

The combination of calming music and poetry can be especially powerful and moving.
