A Fallen Beatle

"inspired by Linda's write on JFK"
    My Tribute to John Lennon

           
                                    " A Fallen Beatle"

                             A child from across the pond...
                    Whose words would help the world to bond...
                       A true poet from the heart, who's ideas
                         touched so many even from the start...
                     A man who inspired a country to be free..
                Spoke of war and peace while in bed for all to see..
              A legend in his own write, help the world to Imagine 
                                     without love or hate...
                     After a reborn life another would be his fate.
                         He spoke of peace and freedom for all...
                      Sadly a bullet from a mad man was his fall..
                His body and being was taken and now disappeared...
                     But his words and soul live on for all to hear...
                  Never again will an Icon like this grace our eyes...
               All his words and music will continue touch many lives..

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 12/4/2010 9:00:00 AM Yesterday when the anniversary of Lennon's death was in the news, I thought of this poem. A memorable tribute, Michael Login to Reply

Diane Locksley Date: 12/3/2010 9:03:00 AM I don't remember seeing the Beatles perform, but I've listened to many of their songs and they were really talented. This year on American Idol one contestant performed Jealous Guy by Lennon and I think it was the highlight of the season. Wish I had known more about him. Best to you, Diane Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/28/2010 8:35:00 AM Lennon's desire to see peace and equality was misconstrued as some as lack of faith when he wrote "Imagine there's no heaven." You captured his soul in this poem, Michael. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
