Notes About The Poem

- Yesterday -

~ if life were a happy song - I'd sing it yesterday ~
                                                                      quote by poet


        "All my troubles seemed so far away"
         Vinyl records, a review from yesterday

        The best songs of all time that will live forever
        Music had a completely different content yesterday

        A modern way of writing cultural history
        no tango for two - that was definitely yesterday
 
        We got the rock culture and it was earthshaking
        Record sales skyrocketed yesterday

        A crank gramophone on a living room table is fun enough
        Defined to be a clever invention from the era of yesterday

        As parts of the guidance to this cosmos
        Life is a highway - a souvenir of yesterday

Brian Sambourne May 8, 2023 at 9:42 AM I first caught the Beatles in concert in 1964. Their music was barely audible above the screams. I came to enjoy "Yesterday" in the quiet of my room. Your nicely penned poem took me back to better days. Sincerely, Brian Anne-Lise Andresen May 8, 2023 at 10:55 AM - I discovered this music in my uncle's "boys room"... he was 6 years older than me... I was "a bit too young"... but, loved the Beatles from the first second... a carefree and happy time, Brian :) - hugs
