As to the length of the poems you now have--that would take some serious work to convert them into song lyrics for sure. Even the 400 word ones would, in most cases need to be cut by at least half IMO. Varying somewhat depending on what genre it's intended for of course.
Maybe better to just take a central idea out of one and start over, drawing some embellishments from the rest of the poem. You have plenty of good ideas.No doubt about that.

My first song lyrics had 8 to 12 verses. ----THREE or FOUR verses and a chorus!!!!!!!????? --You're kidding!!!!-A HUNDRED AND FIFTY WORDS!!!!??>??> No way!!!!!---Yes--WAY

Carry on
