Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the claim from Dan DeLuca's editorial "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics Are Poetry."
Are rock lyrics poetry? The answer must be yes.
Which excerpt from the article provides evidence that supports this claim?

With this, the author of the article offers strong support to his argument and allows the reader to remember the bardic tradition, which is able to end this discussion between music and poetry.
