love that idea of adapting a villanells into a song. will you also compose music to go with it? (or is that something you'd hand over to someone else? :)
All of the above? :-) In the writing, maybe just a haiku or a found poem. Also think I’d like to memorize a new poem. As much as I love Mary Oliver, I don’t think I’ve actually memorized any of her poems.
maybe make a little art or collage or photo based off a line of a poem or my feelings about it
also, I like learning more about one poet. and i'm thinking now about a personal theme... hm, what would it be?
Learn more about form poetry, starting with the villanelle and finish at least one poem to be adapted into a song.

I have a melody from an old song that I am planning to adapt if possible
*love*! (and if you do it, we'd really be delighted to hear :)
