The Beatle's Revolution

The Beatles to me are poets in themselves. Each musical note and voice show different roots to the music we have today, hell, even scholars today are trying to still interpret every meaning behind the Beatles vast differences in lyrics and music. Poetry is seen through different lenses of the person who reads them, they're interpreted in so many ways that no way could truly be correct. But like music, poetry is understood and respected through vast differences through culture and diversity that it's so amazing and still used.


~~~

I want to see what people can interpret through poetry. I want to see what all these minds can see through different songs created by the Beatles, I'm going to paste down a selection of songs by the Beatles and I want to see how people can interpret and distinctly tell me their views on it, or their feelings behind the song.

-No prewrites, and no copy and pasting from any of the songs. I want originality, not only originality, but your own views and feelings behind the song you picked.

Here's how the title of the poem is going to be if it's in this contest. Like this "The name of your poem - the song you picked from the list that you intepreted"

Here are the songs I want you to pick from by The Beatles:
----
Come Together
Revolution
Being the Benefit of Mr. Kite
Hey Jude
Happiness is a Warm Gun
I've Just Seen a Face
Helter Skelter
All You Need is Love
Something
Across The Universe
----
So say I made a poem to intepret the song "Hey Jude" it'd be like this when you present it to this contest.

"Strange - Hey Jude" By Anonymous


Show me what you got, be creative, be imaginative, be The Beatles, and good luck!

Love,
Benefit of Mr. Kite.

    I think you have a typo. (Easily happens when one is in a hurry!) Surely it should be BEATLES' revolution - for as I see it, all four were involved in the revolution, not just one of them!
