I've finished setting one of my favorite poems to music- Alfred Noyes' "Sherwood." I had to pull a Beethoven-On-Schindler and truncated stanzas because otherwise it'd have been 20 minutes long. It is a gorgeous poem, though, read it!

Lose the bitter and strange herb
In the corner, growing wild,
As that which poison harbors
No succor can provide
And better, stranger flowers thrive.

They only see people as things to use, then discard. Afterwards, they're the perpetual victims looking for someone to bolster their cause... it's my musical tribute to that Noir genre staple, the femme fatale!

37. Your dagger was the test-
But crimson suits ~me~ best,
I'll take those horrid slashes
and multicolored sashes
will weave upon the wing,
embracing everything:
and all your petty wrongs
will be kindling to my songs
for my fire to renew—
There is room for you.
