Look At Them

Look at them, all lonely people Soaking your words in churned ripple For in dreams are born, a spiked fire; Twisting on strings plucked by your pyre And lines croon, rising breath’s whistle. Spilled notes creep and rouse life’s riddle Let it be, verse gropes in vigil Guitars strumming peace on live wire, Look at them. To us you say, make life trickle Your hands moan for visions fickle; Telling the world love’s not for hire. As fused pair, melodies conspire To ignite true bliss’ desire, Look at them. *Rondeau form *Lennon-Mc Cartney Tandem *Thanks to my uncles for their Beatles passion ------------- Contest by Michael Falotico: What Songwriter or Writers Inspire You 5 July 2012

What an extraordinary tribute! I saw them live in Southport, England in 1964, when amplifiers were the size of postage stamps and the girls' screaming blotted out the sound for the most part... but I wouldn't have missed it for the world! Marvelous language and form!! Love, Keith :)
