Which sentence is most likely the topic sentence of the paragraph?
Many people think poetry is old-fashioned and uninteresting.
They don't realize that every time they hear a song sung, they are hearing poetry in the form of song lyrics.
Just like many written poems, many song lyrics use rhythm, rhyme, and literary imagery.
It turns out that poetry isn't old-fashioned; it's as modern as the latest hit song!
