I chose the song Memory from Andrew Lloyd Webber's  Cats.It's my favorite song but I genuinely felt it was poetry due to it's ambiguity,similie,repetition,and personification.
It also contains visual, auditory, and olfactory imagery. The ambiguity is shown because we don't know the details of the past or of the memories.Simile- "Like the sunflower..." Repetition of the words memory and day illustrate how the past is fleeting and how one loses time. This song personifies the moon saying that "she is smiling alone?". The visual imagery can be shown through  words such as "withered", "fading", and even "beautiful". Auditory imagery is expressed with words such as "moan","mutters", and "gutters". Olfactory imagery is used to describe"the stale cold smell of morning. This song also uses several references toward light to symbolize hope and persistence.

Memory

DaylightSee the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither away
Like the sunflowerI yearn to turn my face to the dawnI am waiting for the day . . .

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplightThe withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old daysI was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlampSeems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

DaylightI must wait for the sunriseI must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky daysThe stale cold smell of morningThe streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sunIf you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Look
A new day has begun
