    Poem Commentary

    I will never forget the morning I read of John Lennon's assassination. He was so talented and such a good person. Whether you like Yoko or not, John sure did. Such a short poem to sum it all up surely didn't do John Lennon justice, but what ever could? His music will live forever.

    A Lad from Liverpool

    John thought himself a regular guy
    An artistic talent no one could deny

    A young lad from Liverpool
    All of us thought he was so cool

    Once part of the fab four
    Loved Yoko with all his core

    On December 8th, 1980
    Chapman ended John’s life so tragically

    I, too, remember vividly the day John Lennon was shot. I was in college and it was like the President had died. So many people visibly shook...in tears. I wasn't a huge Lennon fan then but have come to know him and his music better. He was a martyr of sorts and is sadly missed. I have a Lennon and 2 Beatles poem myself. Read What If, The Last Judgment and Blackbird. Great tribute. Thanks...Kevin.

    This is a great tribute. I remember that day as well. I was too young to realize what had truly happened, but learned shortly after. There is a madness to obsession, and an obsession to madness. 10 from me

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
