Answer
"Stereo Hearts" by Gym Class Heroes is a perfect example of a piece of poetry. The song's lyrics are filled with poetic techniques, such as alliteration, imagery, and metaphor. The chorus of the song, "My heart's a stereo, it beats for you, so listen close," is a perfect example of alliteration. The imagery of the song is also vivid, as it paints a picture of a heart that is a stereo, playing music for the listener. Finally, the metaphor of the heart as a stereo is a powerful way to express the idea of love. All of these poetic techniques make "Stereo Hearts" a great example of a piece of poetry.
