The One-Line Lyric Challenge

Rhiannon

For April, we have a classic from Fleetwood Mac. Based on the story of a legendary old Welsh witch, Rhiannon.
Live, of course, because there's nothing quite like watching Stevie Nicks perform.

I think there's been a bit of confusion around here about how the challenge works, so I'll try and clarify for those who are new (or old) and confused: Every month, I'll post a song with a line from the lyrics as a writing prompt. Lately I've been posting two prompts so that you have the option to pick either one (but not both). The challenge is to include the line, word for word, in a story or poem of your own. It's up to you how you want to incorporate the line. It's fine if your entry is inspired by the song, but try not to make it too similar or copy the song. The idea is to get creative and use the given prompt in a different way or context.

Just ask if you still have any questions about how it works! It's not meant to be strict, so as long as you include the prompt in your work you'll probably get the prizes.

As it stands, you can still go back and do any of the previous prompts if you want to!

And if you haven't already, please fill out this quick little survey: "The One-Line Lyric Challenge Pop Quiz!" 
This is your chance to have a say in how things are run! (plus, you'll get GPs for filling it out)

"Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac



Lyrics: ▼

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

Once in a million years a lady like her rises
Rhiannon, you cry, but she's gone
Your life knows no answer
Yeah, your life knows no answer

Rhiannon...

She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

Once in a million years a lady like her rises
Rhiannon, you cry, but she's gone
Your life knows no answer
Yeah, your life knows no answer

Rhiannon...
Taken by, taken by the sky

[Guitar Solo]

Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind

Take me like the wind, child
Take me to the sky

All the same, all the same, all the same
Rhiannon

Prompt: "Taken by the wind"

Challenge Prompt: "When the sky is starless"

Note that there are TWO prompts now to choose from.
The challenge prompt is meant to be a bit harder, so it's worth a bit more in prizes.
