Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

For Joseph May's Four By Four Poetry Contest

Beatles McCartney, Lennon, Harrison and Starr

Paul wrote songs he
sang with his guitar.
The “cute” one, he
has come amazingly far!

The “smart” one John
went successfully solo, but
one tragic day got
murdered by a nut.

George, smoker, lead guitarist
and spiritual, “quiet” one,
got cancer. He’d composed
“Here Comes the Sun.”

Ringo, the Beatles’ drummer, 
met his second wife
filming “Caveman.” They’ve enjoyed
a long, rich life.

Sam Kauffman February 27, 2024 at 10:51 AM Congratulations on your win, Andrea. The Beatles certainly were a phenomenon both musically and culturally. They left us with a musical legacy that is unequaled! Blessings.

Robert Warlov February 23, 2024 at 11:21 PM A movie character once said; "Everyone has a favorite Beatle". I didn't, not being a fan, but was fascinated by the sociological implications of the cultural-mirror they held up to us; questioning our definitions of Liberty; Civility and the "Self" in self-governance. A good editorialist's purview of salient character-features.

Duke Beaufort February 19, 2024 at 5:13 PM This has sentimental value for those of us who grew up listening to their music. Thanks for the summation! They were all quite different from each other.
