Yes this just about conjures up the global impact of these youngLiverpudlians as they strung their guitars and gazed upon the Universe thru their musical prism

    Thank you so much, Zanya! Of all the groups out there they are one of the few that are known throughout the world and whose music still lasts. I am so happy you enjoyed this and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Mystic Angel;
a very superb and marvelous 5/7/5 syllabic format and I wish you all the luck in winning this contest for this is a tremendous entry and I really mean it.
Your first impression of your imagery is very expressive and truly descriptive throughout the writing and describes the rhythmic enjoyment and dancing of lovers during that era.
Thank you so much for sharing them posting and may the good Lord be with you always Mystic Angel.
Alex

    Thank you so much, Alex! It was fun to write and I am tickled that you enjoyed it. I never expect to win, my reward comes from making a person or two smile as that is the best gift of all. I am always grateful for your lovely words of encouragement and support.

No proper nouns are allowed according to contest rules - Liverpool, the name of a city, is a proper noun
Your poem is in good 5/7/5 syllable count
I'd say I like the opening alliteration, but it includes the proper noun
If you do a revision, let me know and I will up the rating

I have raised the rating because this misunderstanding was the contest sponsor's fault, not yours

    Thank you so much, Brooke! My bad as I thought from the discussion thread she had okayed places and only wished to exclude the names of the Beatles themselves - I must have misunderstood. I am grateful for your feedback.

    I'll have to read the discussion thread, which is something most reviewers never read - contest sponsors should realize this.
reply by the author on 10-Sep-2014
    I am asking for further clarification and apologize for the confusion. I know your time is valuable and appreciate the rating regardless of how many stars bestowed.
reply by adewpearl on 10-Sep-2014
    I have raised the rating after reading the discussion thread - contest sponsors aren't actually allowed to change the rules once a contest is underway, but that sure isn't your fault.
reply by adewpearl on 10-Sep-2014
    No need for you to apologize - the mess up was not of your making

Excellent 'L' alliteration, MA.

Excellent philosophical words which relate to music and the effect it has on us all.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray xx

:) That they did, and what a subtle way to promote the phenomenon that they were. I never really got into most of their music, but some of it, I have to acknowledge, was really, really good. Loren

    Thank you so much, Loren! I was never too jazzed about their earlier stuff, but as they grew the depth of their lyrics did too. I am happy that you liked this silly scribble and grateful for your kindness in providing such positive feedback.

Mystic, this BEATLEMANIA writing prompt entry meets all the requirements and then some. Yes, the world did rock when the FabFour set it on its ear. Great entry. All the best in the contest. :0 GracieAnn

I like your line 'rock the universe.' I love your image. It is so fitting. I would not change anything. Good job and good luck in the contest. Please read the 'thread' on the contest page. I am sorry if people did not know that it was ok to use other proper nouns (other than the 4 names). I read the thread and responded.

I think this is a great contest entry on the subject of Beatlemania. I'm old enough to remember when they first came to the United States. It's no exaggeration to say they DID rock our world. Good luck with the excellent entry. :)

    Thank you so much! I know they have always rocked mine LOL. I think some of the best lyrics ever written about peace and loving one another came from these guys - being different or the first is not always a bad thing. I am happy you enjoyed this and grateful for the kind words of support.
