How to use composing in a sentence?

1. Terry Linn:

   Wheat is kind of taking it from all sides here, all things considered, it's doing an OK job of composing itself and not collapsing.

2. Martin Tobias Lithner:

   In the symphony of numbers, each prime plays a distinct, unyielding note, composing a harmony that resonates through the corridors of infinity

3. The National, Paris, 1850:

   There is no law against composing music when one has no ideas whatsoever. The music of Wagner, therefore, is perfectly legal

4. Charles Scribner, Jr.:

   Beyond the formative effects of reading on the individuals composing society, the fact that they have read the same books gives them experiences and ideas in common. These constitute a kind of shorthand of ideas which helps make communication quicker and more efficient. That is what we mean when we say figuratively of another person, We speak the same language.

5. Rebecca West:

   I wonder if we are all wrong about each other, if we are just composing unwritten novels about the people we meet?
