My father has always said “everyday is a new adventure”, so today I start my new adventure! I have always loved writing from the time I was a small girl. My love for creativity has started to evolve into music poems as of late. I want to preface this by mentioning that music is and always has been extremely important in my life. It’s been a soul soothing outlet for me. To hear a fellow artist express feelings in a musical format amazes me. So, I decided to create my outlet for my feelings with the help of my favorite musical talents. It came to me one day as I sat alone, at my work desk, on what turned out to be a very inspiring day!
As I sat at my desk and watched the clock, it seemed as if time was at a stand still. I decided to go online to research information on my favorite ‘go to’ band, The Beatles. I came across a listing of every song they had recorded. Now, I have heard their music countless times throughout my lifetime and know the words to most of it, but I was surprised at how I had never paid attention to the majority of their song titles. I am not sure why I never paid attention to them, but as I read through the list I had a creative urge to write down any title that stuck with me.
Fast forward to later that night and I had finished the first draft of my new creation. I re-wrote and edited the titles constantly until I finally ending up with a poem written with their song titles.
I present to you my first work!!
A day in the life
Help! Eleanor Rigby, It’s been a Hard day’s night.
I carry that weight, but now Here comes the sun.
Across the universe We come together, because,
Dear Prudence, All you need is love.
Do you want to know a secret? From me to you,
If I needed someone, I call your name.
Come together, Because I’ve got a feeling.
Don’t pass me by, We can work it out.
Good morning, Good morning. Hold me tight.
Everything is getting better In my life.
Julia, I should have known better
I’ve just seen a face, It’s Anna in Chains.
So Cry baby cry, because there’s a Devil in her heart.
With Lucy In the sky with diamonds and
Maggie Mae on a Yellow submarine
Nowhere man is in the Octopus’s garden and
Mean Mr. Mustard is Here, there and everywhere.
Please Mister postman, It won’t be long,
I want to tell you, Run for your life because
Helter Skelter is Back in the USSR.
Let it be, cause I’m so tired. I me mine. Hello! Goodbye!
Everybody’s got something to hide except me and my monkey.
I see The long and winding road, so Think for yourself because
Tomorrow never knows the Things we said today.
The End
This is just the beginning for me. I can’t wait to share and evolve.
