well Poetry diffeninately has the potential to be music/rap. Look the Approaching Curve by Rise Against; maybe I'll post it later, but by your terms it's "Poetry" because it's "spoken" but I think we would all consider it music. Rap is kind of an extension of this.

Rapping is not poetry because it utilizes various sound beyond the pronunciation of the words themselves.
