		Interestingly enough,  most classic forms of poetry started out as song forms. The French forms (villanelle, rondeau,  triplet, etc) are known as chansome forms (songs) and sonnet means little song. A good poem should focus at least as much on sound as a song and I would say more on sound than meaning.
