Sound to Song

From heaven’s seedling
Inspiration
Through a man
Expressing childhood memories
Inside a dream
To painting palette sound
Guitars, horns, drums, mellotron
Seems random notes tinkering
Mixed on the board of music’s device
Laid to master reel
Magnetic medium
Pressed vinyl grooves
Into history
It’s not too bad
Strawberry fields forever…

With

Kiss and Tell

George’s kiss was a beautiful thing
James’ kiss pressed me passionate against a wall
But John- in my eyes only did he gaze
Ne’er did he kiss me at all

And what of Richard?
His kiss was sweet and delicious to be sure
But who could imagine just John’s look
Brought out desires so intensely pure 

George’s kiss was broken by a model’s request
James’ kiss lost the appeal of its forceful way
But the kiss of the look in John’s eyes
Lingers within my heart eternal- day after day

Sharon Richards lives in Orlando, FL.  She holds a degree in Broadcasting but her heart is held by John Lennon.  Spending years as a video production assistant and a decade in corporate America one element was consistent, she was always writing. When her business writing collided unexpectedly with her passion for John Lennon’s music, an explosion of creativity resulted.  “I've never been so passionate," Sharon says. " Studying John Lennon changed all that.  Inspiration is certainly at the base of most of my work.  I hope Beatle fans are open to it and enjoy reading my poetry as much as I have enjoyed writing it."  Sharon can also be seen at most Beatlefests promoting her book, Drop Forged Lennon, and its successor due out October 9th --  Drop Forged Lennon- the Other Side.  Check out her website at www.dropforgedlennon.com for details and upcoming poetic happenings with Sharon.
