I was trying to relate the pictures to a the Shakespeare quote "Uneasy is the head that wears a crown" but could only match the crown!
The first image looks rather surrealist so I was thinking it might start with Imagine why - but then I drew a blank.
As for the donkey I was trying to fit in an ass but with no luck.
For some reason when poetry came up I wondered if it was a nursery rhyme but can't think of one that would fit.
As Helen says - back to the drawing board

It is not Shakespeare. The author was a well-known Romantic Poet, who lived just about 200 years later. He often dealt with things long even in his past. The first image is simply a movie poster. Disregard it's style, you know where the yellow brick road leads. The word you got right is Ass. The pictures in the first line provide one syllable each. There, I've solved for you.

OzymandiasGoogle does it again. And now that I know what it is I see how all the pieces fit together.

Ah, yes. My fave poem. Kidding. Never heard of it before. Very cryptic.

Sorry I couldn't get back here yesterday due to domestic crisis. My new refrigerator was delivered. The old one had conked out last week for good and I had to buy and arrange for delivery online. Now that was an experience!
Apart from that I'm hiding under a stone. I really thought the puzzle was so obvious that I would have scrapped it if I had had the time to make a new one.

the second line was meant to say "King of Kings". After figuring out those words, it was by googling them that I was led to the poem, Rita.

So here's what I finally came up with....... It requires one word to solve it.

Not sorry but glad, Rita! I was afraid it would be solved in one guess and I would have to hide with you under that stone!

It couldn't possibly be Wurlitzer?

No, not Wurlitzer.

Debating whether I should give a big clue or wait for at least one more person to take a guess?
