Hi Fliss,

I'd call poetry inspired by music lyric poetry, to begin with! Pound for one goes on about how all poetry aspires to music and the form suffers when it departs too much from that basis. Maybe melopoetic art? It looks like Pound also invented that term, as it happens.

Edit: I feel quite strongly about those hijackings - you're right, maybe I should write about it.

Cheers,
John
