I've always enjoyed the various literary universes where song/verse are the controlling operators of magic - this is a great variation!
I picture the Valar creating Middle Earth, but instead of a Heavenly Choir, it's much more Neil Gaiman, with scruffy twenty-somethings "arting" in the park. Most are grouped near the rim of a stone fountain, laughing and chatting, passing drawings back and forth to collaborate on. One or two have easels and oil paints; the group points and shouts suggestions. A few have sidewalk chalk, and are making like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. On a bench about fifteen feet away is Melkor, sitting by himself, wrapped around a sketchpad, making nasty faces and slashing angrily at the paper with a charcoal stick.
