I'm currently listening to a CD by Carla Bruni (think president of France) that she recorded a number of years ago. It's the work of noted poets set to her own original music. If you could set any poem to music, what poem would you choose? Robert Burns wrote music for some of his poems. I think I'd choose "Kubla Khan" because it was inspired by a dream and I sometimes hear music with words in my dreams.

I would love to set "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allen Poe, to music. That is my favorite poem.
