A true Beatle in every way.28 total reviews
Comment from Taurus the Elder
Very good. A nice tribute to one of the most influential musicians of the last century. I grew up with the Beatles but was more of a Rolling Stones fan, Great job, good luck in the contest.

You have done an excellent job with describing John Lennon's life - and death. It was clever of you to use 'instrumental' to put both meanings of the word. I loved the Beatles and John Lennon's philosophy on life - Give peace a chance; Imagine etc. His early death was tragic. He should've stayed living in England.

Raul1 - this entry is very to the point. I like that you were able to capture the narrative of John's life and death in such a brief medium. The poem feels intentionally cut short, much like the singer's life. I also like the use of the phrase "instrumental to success". This is a great nod to the art of the subject, himself. Good luck in the contest.

Hello Raul.
Your poem meets the 5-7-5 style standard. The story you tell is not only about the talent of John Lennon, but it also includes the real history of that fateful day and the obsession of the fan.

Comment from Gloria ....
Excellent entry into the contest, Raul. So true that John Lennon seemed to be the mortar that held the Beatles together.
A strong testimony to one of the dangers of a number one fan.
Great job and I wish you much luck with the Committee.

Comment from Jean Lutz1
Wow. Picture and words paint a picture that is sad. Somehow I never became a fan of the Beatles. Yet the lyrics tell a story. Now it is our time to tell a story. Let us be the lyrical bridge to a troubled current culture.

Considering you could only use a few words to write this - good work! John Lennon was for sure my favorite Beatle! His work lives on in the music we hear today and his writing was amazing.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello anon, a well written 5/7/5 which tells a story. The tragic death of John by a gunman's hand shocked the music world. His death was a great loss to the world of music. He became a political threat in US as he was a popular person who aired his views without fear. A sad loss. Good Luck on this good 5/7/5. Warm regards Dorothy x

You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this tribute to the great John Lennon, shot down in the street; and the world mourned his loss.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This was such a tragic incident and it broke my heart when I heard the news. John had always feared someone would shoot him one day. Your words pay tribute to a talented man who brought us great music and only ever wanted to live in peace. He is still missed. Poignant words here, love Dolly x
