Night; and once again,
while I wait for you, cold wind
turns into rain.

MASAOKA SHIKI.

Wonderful. I love how the second line cuts off (is there a word for that in English? I've learned it as enjambement) -- and rain imagery almost always works for me.

I am a huge fan of enjambement (yes), and ditto on the rain imagery. Rain, water, astronomy and Greek mythological metaphors/imagery pretty much has me in hand.

Bad weather (rain specifically), astronomy, birds, the open road & umbrellas. And that's just off the top of my head.

Birds is an interesting one; umbrellas, too. Open road, yes! I'm all for the travel/road trip story. And the one leaving home. And the one avoiding home. And the one returning home. ...&c.

Good, angsty coming home story = one of my favourite kinds. I also love the doomed to drift type, the I'll never have a home kind.

I think I blame the birds on Poe. The umbrellas are more of a visual thing. Actually, some of these only apply to certain types of art (umbrellas, birds), while others (rain, open road) work in songs, visial art, poems and prose. I also have a thing for songs about/referencing cities.

Also, apocafic. !

Doomed to drift makes me cry like a baby but it hurts so good.

Yeah, that makes sense. Most of mine cross the border from art to art, but some have specific locales. I have a thing for songs that reference events or people. Cities only if it's New York or London. Oh, also? Gypsies. And female assassins /kink
