1108 Liverpool - Loop & Revil! Poem by John Knight

1108 Liverpool - Loop & Revil!

Rating: 5.0


This a LOOP POEM. This structure demands that the LAST WORD
of a line - is used again as the FIRST WORD of the next line - Simple.
I am indebted to the Lady of OZ - Karin Anderson for introducing me to this very elegant poetical structure. If you try it let me know!

I must go back to Liverpool
Liverpool the Ciy of Culture!
Culture represented by Art,
Art which covers the whole spectrum.
Spectrum of colour - Spectrum of styles.
Styles which vary from Classical Art
Art Neauveu - Impressionism and Pop Art.
Art is always very important in Liverpool!

Music of every single genre.
Genre based on links with the USA,
USA - cradle of the Blues and Jazz.
Jazz Clubs in the UK started
Started in Liverpool in my Country.
Country Music clubs in the UK also.
Also a centre for Classical Music,
Music of The Liverpool Royal Philharmonic Orchestra!

Theatre - Opera - Poetry
Poetry by Roger McGough -exceptional!
Exceptional also was Seamus Heany and others.
Others to numerous to mention here.
Here where the Poet John Lennon lived.
Lived close to me - He was the Brains of the Beatles.
Beatles the World's most celebrated Rock Band,
'Band of Brothers' from Liverpool.

John - Paul Paul - George George - Ringo Ringo - John.
John Lennon Airport is now your welcome
Welcome to Liverpool - City of Culure.
Culture also expressed in our Buildings.
Buildings that include St Georges Hall.
Hall of Fame at Anfield and Goodison Park.
Park at Walton - Calderstones Park - Stanley Park
Park at Otterspool - Liverpool - Garden City!

If you visit the UK - take time to include at least a two day
stopover in Liverpool. You won't be dissapointed. They are
The most friendly people in the World. You will get a chance
not only to hear some Scouse but also to taste it!

(John Knight - Colchester - November 2009)

I would love to...maybe I can only visit it in my dream (LOL) Thanks John for this wonderful journey in your Liverpool, this is an enjoyable piece to read today in spite of heavy downpour of rains here in our country. Back in my college days, we also have this, but we have to sing it.We call this, YOUR LAST WORD IS MINE, the last word of which we have to sing the first word of a song. Maybe I will try a piece like this..I love it.. Love♥ ♥ ♥ and hugs♥ ♥ ♥ , Meggie, your angel (LOL)
