I used 5 tanka's to help capture how poetry can be all based in what you hear, feel, or swing to, with the voices of others adding in, but when first working a poem I often feel blind to how it will be received.

Blind, I walk tap tap to find my way, rap echo. Sing song carry me home to you, bring it home tap straight to my heart so I hear. When I see the beat boomerang back rap to me I know your sound space I know the song of your sense I hear the cry of your dream The echoes build loud Add fluid to the white space Thoughts of listeners Adding additional beat Making new heart, soul, song, sound One by one you come One by one you come online Choir adding rhythm rip choir adding some filigree add understanding to world What the rap you make What the taps you spell out loud Becomes an image Shared by all who listen, sing Wonderful sound, our heartbeat.
