Best Beatle Poems

Beatlemania (The Fab Four As Lovers)

Once a choir boy, John turned to romance,
Fell for Yoko almost at first glance.
In full public view 
In bed with her too -
Showed the world how to “give peace a chance.”

Quiet George played much more than guitar.
Lost his wife to...

My pulse is high and the heart beats double punch

When the fab four hit the floor
Back in the year of sixty four
We all would scream and shout
Now we wonder what it was all about
We bought the records one by one
Long discarded these discs now done
Songs that have come and gone
Sweet memories of a favorite...

Look at us, all lonely people
Tasting your words as seasons roll
For dreams are reborn glazed by fire;
When strings explode, plucked to inspire
As lines croon, throbbing sighs kindle.

Notes of vision unchain time’s riddle
Let it be, verse rocks in vigil
Guitars strumming peace on live wire,
Look at us.

Back seat of a ‘56 Chevy
White with baby blue trim
Cruising out of El Paso town 
Headed to the City of Angels
Glorious west-bound sunrise
Static, crackling AM station
Day Tripper on the radio...

How I wish it was Yesterday
When I would dance the night away
To music that was really cool
From the guys from Liverpool
Ringo, Paul, George and John
Who fascinated everyone
From Europe to the U.S.A.
They had a captivating sway
They played a rocking beat
That made me move my feet
From I...

It seemed like only yesterday
That the Beatles came on the scene
And the music that they played
Excited all the teens

 They appeared on the Ed Sullivan show
 To a TV audience that was all aglow
As they sang" I want to hold your hand"
One of the greatest...

This is not really me
Merely smoke and mirrors
Plying a day job
That pays the bills
The me
I see
Dissected into ribbons cleverly disregarded
Like a modern day beetle
Imagining all the people
Who have heard the news today and chosen to stay
Sometimes the clothes do not fit the father...

Something about way they wooed me
Attracted me like no others 
Something in the way they used me 

I won't ever be too old
to forget how those love songs moved me

Somewhere in their songs there grew
a sound, new, unlike the others
Something in their style so rare...

Hey Jude

I've only just myself heard the news 
Yesterday
About the Beatle Bard shot in the back
Whilst crossing Abbey Road

By a catching coward reading in the rye
With a vacant rubber soul
Shooting a Revolver
And his eyes dimming White
Can anybody Help

As slowly like gravity the apple dropped
Watching report...

Dear John,
My name is Paul
Let it be
Can't buy me love
In this working class town
Where the Beatles came from
Meanwhile back
Sgt Peper 
Plods the beat
Down Penny Lane
By Strawberry Field 

Yesterday 
All along the long and winding road
I heard the news today 
Oh Boy!
Mother Mary had passed away
And...

Pre Beatles Fame 
 There are times when long time ago really is long, yet seen
with a cosmic sight, a speck of dust in the eye of the sky.  
I think it was In 1956 I saw the Beatles perform at a place 
called...
