November verse 4

Today, instead of a rhyming stanza, here’s a list puzzle poem, which I couldn’t bear to keep to 14 lines:

4. A long way from the loneliest
Beatles song
Adam Driver movie
Route
Holmium
Paris
Sexy
End of the span
Lutetium
Maidens in paradise
Prime
Tungsten
Rhenium
Trombones
Sunset Strip
Mardi Gras

Added later: I’ve been told that as a puzzle this is just too hard. If you highlight the sentence after the next full stop, you will see a clue. Think numbers: One is the loneliest number. Big things happened in Paris ’68 etcetera. Lutetium is number 71 on the periodic table of elements. .

    How good is that!

    • Thanks, Jim. I thought I’d it as a very simple puzzle with a straightforward solution. But evidently not so. I’d love to know what other people’s imaginings are
