Literature Text

Three little birds pitch on my doorstep.
I keep them in a jar
because
nothing I have is truly mine.

I am only the lonely,
waiting for it to come back to me.
NEW PROJECT. :la:

One of my favorite things in the creative process is coming up with a title. A quick browse of dA proves I'm not the only one - people come up with some strange and often beautiful titles for their work. Thus, my new project is born: each line of this poem is the title of a work I found here on deviantART. A type of Found Poetry, but with some community mindedness :XD:

RULES

1. Each line must be the title of a work found somewhere on deviantART. Any type of art goes.
2. Minor modification is allowed (adding small words such as and, or, but, with, I, you/ changing the tense (keep to kept, wait to waiting).
3. BUT, you can't just remove/insert a word altogether.
4. A single line can only be modified once.
5. Modification of punctuation and/or capitalization doesn't count.
6. YOU MUST LINK ALL THE PIECES USED :stare:
7. And please notify the artists that you have used their titles :)
8. Your own title must either be of another dA piece OR a title someone else could use for their own found poem. The stranger the better.
