I highly disagree with this. Hikki's lyrics seem like "poetry" on a superficial level because they are "pretty" and use "colorful metaphors", but when you employ close reading you come to realize that her lyrics are closer to children's songs and nursery rhymes than actual poetry for adults. Her lyrics lack the depth of emotion or wisdom that is found in true poetry. It is all surface prettiness. In contrast to that, I find Ayu's lyrics much closer to poetry. They echo a depth of feeling and a heightened intelligence beyond that which Hikki is capable of.
Sorry, but I really dislike it when the word "poetry" is used for something so unqualified for the term. This is true poetry:

Hikki isn't even close.
