But even in The Beatles body of work, this piece seems to find a separate place for me.<BR/><BR/>I guess it strikes me this way - Most poems, though not all, are meant to be more than their placement on the page.

I say this because songs capitalize on a combination of words, instruments and voice tone, modulation, etc. Poems capitalize on words, lines and stanzas. Lyrics can get away with more standard imagery and rhyme because the music and voice do a lot of work to add freshness. Words in poems have more work to do than in lyrics.Kate Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478737570632377733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20269767.post-57253997170850059652008-06-30T10:43:00.000-04:002008-06-30T10:43:00.000-04:00It's on my short list of 5 of the their work.
