A winter's tale.
Day 26.
Dappled cities,
this ole house,
Kentucky rain,
credence,
clear water,
revival!
Another place
to fall.
Lost prophets tell these hands
"Can't catch tomorrow,"
"Answer is zero."
Things you say
in one ear.
Night wish fuel.
All I have to do
is dream, float on
the crests, the clovers,
the white stripes,
the violet burning
across the universe.
From a jack to a king,
I've never been
to me.
Foolish little girl,
modest mouse,
owner of a lonely heart,
unforgettable personality,
walking with a ghost,
next in line.
Acceptance? Throw it away!
No drama!
Leave the memories
alone.
Mustang Sally,
Eden's crush,
cry no more!
Cage the elephant!
Become the bull
while your lips
are still red!
Sixteen candles?
Love potion number 9?
More to life, Gypsy.
Author notes
I used all of the titles and some of the artists. They all fit together so nicely.

Creative and resourceful - I sincerely appreciate the effort but it didn't really come across poetically to me.
