BEACHB-oysters' (sand-corny) POETRY PEARLS - YULEtide-edit...

[rasmus skotte]

This, the 75'th jubilee reply, I'll give to Cent'!
                                                                                                           

Similar to a map of hidden loot from The Goonies… instructions on how to find some BB buried treasure in Durrie's attic shelving unit:

Top reer: acetates… Parks!
 

Or… Brian junking SMiLE,


Skrap (SMiLE box) set… ate career + pot!

>D. Parks: "SKRAP'd!"<                       [haiku-palindrome by CenturyDeprived (hai{ku}jacked by P'dromerBoy)]

>Top 'n' reer: ACETATES!
(D. Parks - SMiLE-Tel''ims!; skrap'd set)
Ate career 'n' POT!<

Cent' has been exposed to this kind of treatment before. Ever since his, the very first SMiLE-palindrome (bar one) ended up inside a limerick-palindrome. And later being used in battle of poetry-slammin': Mike versus Van Dyke!

And before the accusations start to fly, one would do well to remember that "anal" is Lana in reverse.    

And how DID 'Lana'< get mixed in with the latest development, Sire? (NO offence taken - lol !).

And before the accusations start to fly, one would do well to remember that "anal" is Lana in reverse.  

And how DID 'Lana'< get mixed in with the latest development, Sire? (NO offence taken - lol !).

And none intended! Well. It's a bit tricky, actually. The palindrome in question begins "L.A. Lana sexes..." but propriety forbids me from finishing it, hahaha.

Less controversially, I was toying with BB song titles in a palindrome while out walking the dog and this is what I ended up with:

> Now I am a ham (U.S.). Om! OK... O Kokomo, Sumahama... I won! <

[rasmus skotte]

Should we just lie down and take this? ("Palindromes versus anagrams/vandalism-rampager: Sourness!").

'CenturyDeprived? Very unpredicted!'
john k? too short, but if we add 'lyricist' your namesake appears!!
'Lyricist, john k? Joy, link Christ!'
('Rasmus Skotte? The surest mask!')

Generated----this is what separates the men from the boys, so to speak. We craft our palindromes, syllable by hard-won syllable. 

There are two sites that have helped me at times, one called Back Words (reversible pairs of words, eg stop and pots) and the wiki palindromic word page, but these are best likened to glue to hold it all together.

That said, "the surest mask" has the ring of a compliment!

And a very good dog, it must be! RIGHT, you are. Let's fight back! We draft and craft one after another, singlemindedly:

Gee! I must have been a bit 'out-of-it' yesterday. Lucky the server didn't call me 'SOURest mask' like in that other anagram - 'cause I ain't!
Here's how the tanka should've been presented (by me) in the first place!:
Finally a poem where Dr. Love can have his say - and it even rhymes in places! We won't get classy poetry like this out of a computer!
[Does he mean BEING 'lame' or like gold 'lame'? You'd be the judge of that!]:

                MIKE'd                                                                           {tanka-palindrome by john k}

     >"Now; I AM 'a ham'!

(:U.S.)   ~ OM ~ ... o.k., O.K.!

     'HE' ? : Male Ego - gee!

 Lam'eh? ******'  KOKOMO!

Sumahama?... I ** WON!!"<

[JK]

Let's be positive and think "gold-lamé". ;=)

It must be habit, but I inevitably replace the "magic stars" in my mind with a string of expletives. All in good fun, of course. (As in "We're his ******* messengers".)

And it's habit again, perhaps, and not a good one, but would it have been a lawsuit that Mike "WON"?   

All this aside, excellent work, sir (more play than work, of course). The (alliterative) rhymes really carry it along.

This mess started off as a vain attempt to include all four Beatles' names and ended up as a bit of a Who's Who, with a couple of BB connections in there somewhere:

> Anna, George... heed Melua, PiL, ELO, Diana V., Ringo, gay A.J., Depp! O H.C. Minh, O John, I'm chopped! Jay (agog), Nirvana, Idol, Eli, Paul, EmDeeH (e.g. Roeg, Anna)... <

Rasmus, maybe you'd like to check that it is indeed palindromic. I must get back to work!

Rasmus, maybe you'd like to check that it is indeed palindromic. I must get back to work!

And so must I (and this is it - for the time being!).
If this is you being 'chopped, well truly "I'm amazed"!

So here it is, palindromic'ly controlled and all. And it amounts to a tanka+haiku-drome!

jay!! And for the movie buffs: Roeg & Depp! Who's 'Eli', then?

I saw Jay (once he'd popped up in my palindrome and needed justifying) as Jay Kay of Jamiroquai (or, on reflection, possibly he of the Americans). Eli is either actor Eli Wallach or he of the Thirteenth Confession (Laura Nyro's second album). ("Anna (Lee)" is of course the sung link between the Beatles and the BB .)

All this aside, you've made it into something truly special. Thank you.

This reads like a modern day 'PEPPER'S-album-cover. How very appropriate!
If one should need the opening line to be a perfect 5-syll's one, 4 magic stars could be sprinkled to indicate [take] heed! as if reminding everybody that 'IT' comes to all of us - eventually! Anna Lee 'the healer'. We need her!
Btw: Who or what is 'Pil'? ... O no, Sir - I'm NOT giving You lip<!
(Over here I feel like a 'one-trick-pony' version of Paul Simon back in the mid-1960's, coming to England to nerd with big words & poetry!).

Here's a REAL challenge for the VISUALLY minded: COMPUTER WISE amongst our members (and guests) to take on!
Ah, some of you guessed already!
As an extra tribute/hommage  in honour of the late & GREAT George Martin, could/would someone create a modernized/updated version of the Sgt. Pepper album cover? Inserting photos of ALL the artists, bands & persons, that are 'name-dropped' in john k's GEORGE MARTIN-poem (all of whom explained in the replies ^above^) ! ...
Preferably discretely numbered and/or masked in order to identify each individual! And then upload it here for us all to marvel at!! Supposedly there are any number of ways in which to solve this one ...
Keep this respectfully in mind: That original cover artist, Peter Blake is a friend of Brian's! And include the two men, doing right by them BOTH, this time around!
Hopefully john is 'k with this baroque ("AGOG") idea!?
CAN'T WAIT to see this one happening!...

Agog, but not aghast. What a wonderful idea! Let the inserting commence, so to speak.

[rasmus skotte]

One of the great qualities about ^^this 'diversatile' collection of people^^ is that (with Beatles AND the 5'th B! as a starting point) it's NOT chosen out of private preferences but only from palindromic ones! And then Brian & Sir Peter Blake just MUST to be imported ...

[JK]

George Martin makes three-way conversation in the Great Beyond:  

> Klimt: "Sir George, sir, is Pepper all atonal art?"
Iris: "He paws at Fabs BAFTA swap, eh, sir? I..."
"Tra-la! Not all are pp EPs, Iris, e.g. roe, grist, milk..." <    

Klimt is the Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) and Iris is the author and philosopher Iris Murdoch (1919-1999), who once wrote "I think the Beatles should be Poet Laureate".

[Edit: Iris M.'s remark was an afterthought]
[Second edit: Superfluous "s" has been removed!]

[rasmus skotte]

Great companion piece (diptych?) to your other George Martin-opus!
If someone's still dabbling with a Pepper-cover dedicated to Martin - feel free now to include Klimt and I. Murdoch!!

[rasmus skotte]

So here comes john k's George Martin r.i.p. diptych. In the last one there seemed to be one 's' too many in the beginning. So I have Klimt asking both G. Martin AND Siri  (just to get a second opinion!). And in this reading, 3 more pop-stars appear near the end of it: Tommy ROE, Hilary GRIST & MILK! (and they too can be added into a S. Pepper album-cover remake, should there ever be one).                                                                                          Shakespeare gets the final words: "The rest is silence" all silenced, naturally)...

Thanks, Rasmus. Looks good. And thanks for mentioning the extra s----I'd combined two alternatives by mistake. I've removed it from my original, where it now just reads Pepper...

Our little pantheon of cover adorners is growing by the minute! I must draw up a list some time. Hilary Grist----that a new name to me. I must check her out. 

[rasmus skotte]

Or how about an opera diva for a change: soprano, Reri Grist ?!

Why not?!



As for the George Martin Memorial Pepper album cover:

It's a bit quiet in the Smiley graphic design department----not a volunteer in sight. Heck, I'm even tempted to do a primitive cut-and-paste job myself. It may take a while----and it will need more than a little thought. But at least it will be done with love and care...

[rasmus skotte]

For all who might feel inspired to create their own palindromes, there is an on-line service called: palindromegenerator.com to help along the way. Start small, though. Like in a recent example: >Brianisms in 'Air', B.<.
Have fun!
