Method for Transforming a Poem into a Song

This invention comprises a method to transform a poem into a song. The client first composes a poem or a passage. Next, the client goes to the “Make Your Poem a Song” website: http:www.makeyourpoemasong.com (hereinafter “MYPS”). The client then populates the unique specification menus on the website. Selections from the specification menus allow the client to mold each and every aspect of the song creation process. After the client selects each song aspect, the MYPS coordinator chooses a composer to write the song based on the song chosen song characteristics. The composer then creates a song based on the characteristics chosen by the client. When the composer has created the “blueprint” of the song, the composer releases a small portion of the song to the client through the MYPS coordinator. The client then has 48 hours to comment on the song. If client has no comment, the composer creates, mixes and masters the song in final form, depending on the package chosen.
