Sung poetry is a broad and imprecise music genre widespread in European countries such as Poland and the Baltic States to describe songs consisting of a poem (most often a ballad) and music written specially for that text. The compositions usually feature a delicate melody and scarce musical background often comprising a guitar or piano. Some sung poetry performers are singer-songwriters others use known published poems or collaborate with contemporary writers.
