Love Is The Way
I believe all you need is love,
when problems come sing like a dove.
Oh, when people are mean be kind,
and never let them know your mind.
Be gentle, humble, and grateful,
though you feel broken and painful.
'Cause each new day is a new day,
so think love, think happy and gay....

Let It Be"Let It Be" by the Beatles
hearts unlock with piano keys
and while my guitar gently weeps
I sway to the rhythmic refrains
I dance to the sky but no rain
birds all sing the sweet melody
(true peace and true love), Let it be
Let it be (being kind, be free)
(Art, song, poetry) Let it be

Born to Rise"Blackbird"
You cannot cage what's born to rise,
she blazed beyond their brittle lies.
They named her ash, they named her end,
but fire learns how not to bend.
Her silence cracked the sky in two,
she flew where only lightning flew,
They heard her cry, not weak–but wise–
a battle hymn of "Blackbird" skies....

Zen modehaving recognised light of Self
renewing itself in itself
truth of being takes centre stage
flame without smoke in heart does rage
breath by breath embodied in form
as we remain poised in the storm...

YesterdayNo longer can I write for soup
Not even a poem on poop
I'm cheating I'm using AI
If challenged of course I'll deny!
Aliens whisked my brain away ...
Was normal until yesterday!
My notepad is now firmly shut
I'm bereft, my brain is kaput!

Help!Help! I dropped my phone down the loo
What can be done? what shall I do?
Stick my hand deep into the pan
I pull and tug the best I can
Call a plumber or call a friend?
Can't do that, phone's stuck in the bend
Out I go to buy a new phone
Call a plumber when I get home.

Blackbird -- slight typo corrected
What is that, 'midst gray silhouette
A night-winged creature slips, beset?
Fluttering through pampas and ground
Mellow the dulcet trails of sound
O blackbird, my breaths awaken
By soft chimes...this angst forsaken
Glimmering 'neath still of moonlight ,
I find peace in warlber's hymned flight !...

Hellebore"Hey Jude/Song by The Beatles ? 1968"
--------------------------------------------
Blooming in snow, lifting the gloom
She spells right both beauty and doom
Tears of poor heartbroken shepherd
Bright flower with sepals colored
Hey Jude, you can't force her to bloom
Not in pot or in greenhouse fume
A sign for faith, love, hope, rebirth
Alluring tough flower on earth...

A Midnight Song
A midnight song, a starry note
A wounded bird with dreams afloat
A "blackbird" wishes on a star
Though its wings won't yet take it far
Its wings will heal so it can fly
And soar amidst the clouds on high
And then this bird will sing its song
As the midnight moon sails...

Back in the USSRJune 21, 2025
For the Beatles 'Lay it to Me' song Contest by Charles Messina
The old iron curtain came down
But soon a clown reclaimed the crown
Ruthless and hollow-souled he rose
Now a foul Soviet wind blows
From the east it battered Ukraine
Spreading such cruel and endless pain
The past returns in blackened char
“Back in the U.S.S.R.”

Laying Beatles Songsdo you want to know a secret
a hard days night, of no regret
saw this girl, seems like yesterday
misery soon flying away
and as I saw her standing there
from me to you, a kiss I’ll share
got to get you into my life
so please, please me, become my wife
money can't buy me love, I knew
she let it be...
