I was going to be cool with this idea, but after reading up on the topic, posting of song lyrics without the author's permission is likely a copyright violation and could lead to us being sued if we encouraged such postings (e.g., by creating a whole forum just for such postings).
Now, I can't be sued for people who find song lyrics posted elsewhere on the Internet and link to those lyrics (since a link isn't the same as posting the lyrics themselves). However, if you just want to discuss such lyrics, not sure if we need a new forum to cover that or not.
So, generally speaking, you should not post song lyrics or someone else's poetry without first obtaining their permission.
Sorry...
