This poem is dedicated to Winged Warrior.  He asked me a while ago to do a pantoum with song titles performed by the Beatles.  I hope I have done justice!  All these songs are from before I was born!

 

Hey Jude, love is like a butterfly - just let it be. You've got a ticket to ride, go where you should be. Love is a revolution it shall set you free. Don't live a life of sorrow like Eleanor Rigby. You've got a ticket to ride, go where you should be. From Penny lane to Abbey road, you'll find the way. Don't live a life of sorrow like Eleanor Rigby. Don't be a nowhere man, forget about yesterday. From Penny lane to Abbey road, you'll find the way. Become a pilgrim of the long and winding road. Don't be a nowhere man, forget about yesterday. In a Norwegian wood, you'll find the secret code. Become a pilgrim of the long and winding road, but don't get lost in strawberry fields forever. In a Norwegian wood, you'll find the secret code. All you need is love, so trust the path you endeavour. But don't get lost in strawberry fields forever, I always get by with a little help from my friends. All you need is love, so trust the path you endeavour, in my life, I've seen heartache, but it always ends. I always get by with a little help from my friends. A day in the life of a broken soul, is full of fear. In my life, I've seen heartache, but it always ends. Sometimes whilst my guitar gently weeps, I shed a tear. A day in the life of a broken soul, is full of fear. After a hard days night the mind seems to go astray. Sometimes whilst my guitar gently weeps, I shed a tear. Yet I don't believe you've got to hide your love away. After a hard days night the mind seems to go astray. Sometimes its difficult and you can't buy me love. Yet I don't believe you've got to hide your love away. In the end I feel fine, when healed from powers above. Sometimes its difficult and you can't buy me love. I'm saving all my loving for her eight days a week! In the end I feel fine, when healed from powers above. When soulmates come together, passions reach their peak. I'm saving all my loving for her eight days a week! You'll know when she loves you - you'll want to twist and shout! When soulmates come together, passions reach their peak. You'll see something in the way she moves, there's no doubt. You'll know when she loves you - you'll want to twist and shout! One glance and you'll be singing I wanna hold your hand. You'll see something in the way she moves, there's no doubt. Help the caterpillar to leave its cocoon- just as planned. One glance and you'll be singing I wanna hold your hand. Love is a revolution it shall set you free Help the caterpillar to leave its cocoon- just as planned. Hey Jude, love is like a butterfly - just let it be The Silent One 29 October 2017

Magnificent pantoum, SO! Written in your inimitable ink style. Another poetic tribute masterpiece to a talented poet WW. A pleasure to read ... and of course the memory lane stroll listening to the Beatles is a lyrical dream walk. Ty for the memories. Beautiful pastoral poetry. Love and more love always.

You could have added more but I so am glad you did not add any less and so delightfully expressed via the Pantoum . . .

This is the first verse of this type I've read. I do like it, but it's not something I'd try myself yet. Good writing my friend. xxx

OH,Silent one, you did a great job challenging yourself . I remember when you gave us all this same kind of challenge and I think I did Taylor Swift in pantoum style. VERY Well done with those awesome Beatle song titles!

What a marvelous write my friend! You have surely done the Beatles justice by this incredible poem...I wish you could send this piece to Paul McCartney so he could have it on his person! Because I just know he would love it so much that he would certainly keep it with him at all times! I just know that WW really enjoyed reading this incredible poem, and that it must've cheered him up after his difficult time! I surely enjoyed reading this delightful piece this morning! Great Work!!

Thank you so much Russell.. I'm nor sure Paul would like it, probably try to sue me for copyright! LOL!

Well, Silent One -- you certainly managed to stuff them all in good and tight! Like sardines into a can. A worthy dedication to a really nice guy. My very best regards! :) john

An excellent selection of Beatles songs which you have selected in your array in tribute to WW and his loving Mum - It's so thoughtful of you. Congratulations on a job well done in a most difficult form, and the fact you took just over an hour is to be commended . A fave from me Si.. ...Maria

Thank you Cheryl.. I was not born during their time, and they had split years before..

Congratulations on a job extremely well done, S-1. This was not easy; time consuming, too. Unlike you I was born before any of their songs saw the light of day:) Regards // paul
