A FANTASTIC TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MAN AND WONDERFUL MUSICIAN/SINGER COMPOSER... You nailed it, for creativity, flow and brilliant combinations in using of song titles.. Although I see the, not for contest note, I think it far more than worthy to have been entered my friend. A fav....

Sunshine, this poem really made me smile. As each name came up I began singing the song. A unique way to bring us right back to the late 60's, and help us get in touch with our hippie selves. I applaud you!

Smiles for you always, Sunshine! John Lennon was one of the greatest composers of all time and you integrated his song titles beautifully in your pantoum. "Imagine" is a personal favorite and "Norwegian Wood" always brings a smile to my face. If this is for a contest, I'm sure it will do well. Love, Carolyn

Excellent Pantoum Anne-Lise! The Beatles certainly have a lot of titles to choose from. A very difficult format to attempt but I think you've done a wonderful job of it. Best of luck in the contest! ~Judy

- Typically a pantoum is made up of two rhyming couplets - I interpret Pantoum as a tribute poem without rhyme or repeated lines, Judy - Reading the rules as it is free choice, but I can be wrong - Many thanks for friendly visits and lovely comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Was looking out for this when I saw a comment you made, brilliantly done. I grew up with the Beatles in the 60s, great times for music, my favourite era. Good luck in the contest Sunshine, S.O. Wants me to do one, I thought a pantoum was some kind of drum lol. Tom

- I got The Beatles in with my mother's milk :) - I thought I would write it "in my way" ... wrong or right ... I do not know, Tom :))) - If it's "wrong" ... that's ok ... it was fun to write it anyway :) - Many thanks for friendly visits and lovely comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
