Song lyrics don't always have to rhyme, but they can always be said to a beat or rhythm.

Poetry doesn't always rhyme either, but it does follow a certain amount of syllables in each line, or a certain length of words that make matching lines flow smoothly.

Does Lyric poetry have a song like poetry?

Really poetry is just more of a complication of words used to make lyrics but all in all poetry is just like a song. ___ Although a lot of poetry can be made into songs fairly easily, it isn't a requirement. Poetry in general isn't really about lyrics to a song, and many modern poems would be really difficult to make songs out of. Interestingly, though, lyric poetry was so named because it was usually written to be accompanied by the lyre. It isn't really that way anymore... the difference now is usually that lyric poetry often retains a form (like the sonnet form), and it is personal... expressing feelings or emotions. You can write one without worrying about having it accompanied by the lyre now, though. :)
