I've a...Oh, Ms. D is just one of my favorites ever. I've always wanted to (seriously) set her poems to music as a sort of one-person, serious-minded musical theatre piece. I've been involved in production of Belle of Amherst more than once. It's said that she modeled her verse on hymns, which is what makes them so musical.

I think that's ballad form---and they all rhymed too. Which I find very difficult to do. And if I do rhyme it, then I've written it in the form above.
