    Is it too late to say I love the idea? I'd so love to map the inn where Loreena McKennitt's "The Highwayman" takes place! The whole scenery is described so vividly!
    The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, the moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, the road was a ribbon of moonlight, looping the purple moor, and a highwayman came riding, riding, riding, a highwayman came riding up to the old inn door...
    Now that the warm fuzzy part is over we can get back to the ritual dismemberments. Oh wait, it's not Tuesday is it?

    While I'm nowhere near skilled enough with this art form to entertain the idea of entering a contest, I'll definitely add a +1 for Loreena McKennitt. I was actually thinking of Stolen Child:

    Where dips the rocky highland
    Of Sleuth Wood in the lake
    There lies a leafy island
    Where flapping herons wake
    The drowsy water-rats
    There we've hid our faery vats
    Full of berries
    And of reddest stolen cherries
