Were poems more likely to be songs in the mediaeval period? (Or maybe limericks, the authors of which had mothers likely to cuff them round the ear if they wrote them down?)

Most of the short poems I have are conducive to song, but the long ones are a rather different kettle of fish. When I say "long", I mean that they are the length of a goodly-sized novel. At the moment, "short" would encompass anything under 10 pages, since, now that I'm writing to you, it occurs to me that I have at least a few things in the 15-20 page range.

Your suggestion is a good one. All of the examples I have of shorter poems are good for singing; good too because they are easy to memorize because the wordplay is more intense.
