Bullroarer

In the quiet of the day I hear a roaring on the winds It's like the wild horses Aired notes being pinned An Aerofoil, with slats of wood Aerodynamics in tune, Whistling Below the moon My brothers down under In vibrato sound This Bullroarer of the past On their tribal lands This amazing piece From many a ground The Ukraine, Scotland Native American sounds http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/australia.php

James, I love to hear those horns roaring on all of the "ancient life" movies. And I've run in the hills (MANY years ago) of Texas where Native Americans lived and roamed, too. I have felt a connection there. And that's where I shouted my first primal yell and felt the freedom... running in the wild. I enjoyed this poem, James.

Nice discription of a boomerang. I have heard the sound and it does sing. Sara

Very unique piece of work, now that I know what a bullroarer is, your discription is very vivid, sounds like fun....Karla

The title intrigued me. Wonderful use of sound images forward your thoughts in a creative way. I like the way the first and last lines work together--gives the poem a connected feel. Thank you for sharing this one with us and for your kind comments. Have a wonderful weekend. Karen

good on yer! Mate! Strine-alike!...I belong to the USBA (United States Boomerang Association) and have 4-bullroarers in my kit! I always begin a throwing session by honoring the four-winds with my bullroarers, if they sing, I proceed! I love boomerang poetry! if time permits, visit my poem-'Autumn Wind'..a true story! love this poem of yours, Highlander!...Jim
