Beatles.

I have an undying love for all Beatles music.

take a title and run!

You can use the title as the title of your poem, or just reference it in the authors notes.

feel free to search for the lyrics for further understanding of the songs.... but im hoping that you already know them!!!
They were all number 1s - or top hits.

You can write about the beatles if you like, or just feel inspired by them.

I personally giggle and grin everytime i hear "here comes the sun", as it reminds me of my first summer in London with my fiancee.

have fun.

as always i have plenty of contests open because i spend points the same way i spend money - i cant seem to save anything!
please take a look at those also...


if you reserve something, please fill the slot within a few days of the reservation. often i find people dont come back to them.

    I love the Beatles, I'd love to come up with something for this, I have to find my muse, will bookmark. Great idea for a contest, you picked so many of my favourite songs.

    the Beatles are sorta my thing (who would have thought) and I was wondering if I could enter a poem that is inspired by a Beatles song not on the list? Norwegian Wood? I am working on a poem inspired by that song Ian i would love to enter it once it is finished.
