Imagine By John For Yoko

In the annuls of time 
A song was written
By John Lennon
In love and smitten

His Japanese girl
Had caught his eye
Was it
The Beatles demise 

The songs he wrote
Since the Beatles departed
It was 1971
And his new career started

In this year
His most famous write
A year after the Beatles
Disappeared from sight

His heart now captured
By a Japanese girl
Imagine that
His heart in a twirl

Her poetry inspired
For John to write
Her World War two horrors
Brought to light

For his inspiration
In his writing suit
Yoko Ono's book
Grapefruit

Imagine a raindrop
Imagine the clouds dripping
Give peace a chance
Listen to John's singing



In dedication to an Ex-Beatle whose awesome track " Imagine "
                     is sung all through out the world

Funny i have be re-introduced to Lennon and have been watching his interviews and listening to all his music. He was incredible and it is surprising to me how little impact he had on the world. I mean he explained all of the problems 30 years ago and no one listened. That was the time we could have changed course. Now our path is nearly set and it doesnt look to peaceful.

Nice tribute to a music legend and a song that will endure through time. You have me smiling. I was a teenager back then. How the time does fly. Thank you for sharing this poem with us and for your kind comments. Blessings to you. Karen

Lennon took a lot of heat for saying, "Imagine there's no heaven, no religion too, no hell below us, above us only sky." I think he was just trying to unify all people regardless of their religious beliefs. He was a misunderstood artist, but his relationship with Yoko did lead to the breakup of the Beatles. What a wonderful poem you have given us, James!! Love to the Highlander, Carolyn
