Poems

So tonight is going to be a pretty big night...my first open mic poetry slot for a good few years. I have my own poems, not poems from someone else, not comedy poems, my own heart felt, deep shit poems. They're honest poems, I try to write anonymous, like the person speaking isn't me, but it definitely is.

Been quite fragile recently. A bit sad, down, low, depressed is an over used term. Always get like this at this time of the year.

We shall have to see what happens!

With The Beatles

Beatles day yesterday, not sure what for. Can only think of Number 9...Revolution number 9 from the White Album. Why didn't the world end yesterday?

So Dave said he'd been listening more to the Beatles. I'd forgotten how good they were. Mum says the reason they did VERY well was because of the competition. But then I think of the competition they had and that was pretty amazing. It was a different style I suppose.

Would the Beatles have gone on and on without Yoko? I doubt it. Maybe she did us all a favour and acted as the catalyst of a group that was about to implode, that was going to start creating more Piggies than Paperback Writer and that would have been awful. For that reason the Beatles are seen in a positive light rather than a group that went off and dried out.

Maybe go and listen to some Beatles right now...
