John

See the world through his eyes.
For if John wasn't here,
Neither were the skies.

Love and revolution,
He advocated.
Peace and harmony was the solution.

No more war, no more war.
Stay in bed, grow your hair,
I know you've done it before.

He taught us something that will never fail.
He told us what we should have known,
In his forty year tale.

Lucy, Rocky, and Mr. Kite,
All need help from their friends,
After a hard day's night.

Little John from the English land,
Saved a decade,
With his little band.

This is so cute. I'm sorry if 'cute' wasn't exactly what you were looking for, but I found it cute...I mean, it was GOOD, I liked your set up and the clever use of:
'Lucy, Rocky, and Mr. Kite,
All need help from their friends,
In the middle of the night.'
That was so great, only a Beatles fan would get that reference. Anyways, it was a very good write, I liked it :) I told you you could write poetry!

[Victoria Harlequin]

Loved it! He's legendary & inspiring. Great piece.

I was in awe from the momment I read the title. Being a beatles fan, this was a very good poem to read a second time. Rest in peace, john lennon.

[Angie Diane♥&hea..]

Aww this was nice. Thanks for sharing. :)

I like the thought behind this and the way you wrote it. Unfortunately, and this has nothing to do with your writing, we have failed to absorb the lesson. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Great write though.

You'd probably like my piece "Contradicting Lennon". Kudos to you.

I really liked this Jon and I'm going to add it to my fav's.
I'm a big Beatles fan.

"No more war, no more war.
Stay in bed, grow your hair,
I know you've done it before."

These are my favorite lines. Well done.

John is a missed man. What he could of done. His soft spoken and active man of peace is needed in this world today. Need a few John's and Martin Luther Kings today. A excellent poem. Thank you for remembering a great man.
