But tom, that;s what I meant! I meant if a poem's workign as a poem, ifd all the music it needs is being supplied by the words, if it's realising itself, it can't necessarily accommodate the music as well. But twee etc, well it was crying out for a setting.
Janet, of course you know more than the rest of us put together about poems set to music - you have the advantage! I was sort of more thinking of pop music because that's what people were posting.
However, I do think even if it works, the music will drown out the verbal complexities. I'm not saying it's bad, I love music as you know -it's just a different thing.
