Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Beatle Mania Love Slam

Dear John,
My name is Paul
Let it be
Can't buy me love
In this working class town
Where the Beatles came from
Meanwhile back
Sgt Peper 
Plods the beat
Down Penny Lane
By Strawberry Field 

Yesterday 
All along the long and winding road
I heard the news today 
Oh Boy!
Mother Mary had passed away
And though the mourners came in the pouring rain
Its very strange 
How they come together right now
All the lonely people ?
Where do they all come from ?
Hey Jude ?

I am the Walrus !

Jan Allison March 24, 2018 at 10:22 AM what a clever use of song lyrics to turn them into a brilliant poem. I was never a great Beatle's fan but there are several songs I love especially Blackbird and yesterday:-) hugs Jan xx Christopher Flaherty March 25, 2018 at 5:29 PM Cheers Jan I trust you are well my friend.
