Drumfire Roars

A skull rocking sky-rumbles, spills over rooftops, salvos shake mind-cradles, bruise landscapes. I return home to a house crouching under a pressing menace. A tormenting sky slowly passes by, nonetheless, I won't leave here until my timid tabby cat leads the way.

Hi Eric, Always amazed at the number of poems that spill from your pen, all of exceptional quality, originality and spread of subject matter. This one no exception. Enjoy reading your work, delighting in the surprises and novel way you take in the world and transform it into poetry. Your endings are a standout. You have a rare gift.

Hi PAul, thank you for writing and reviewing my works. It was a pleasure to read of your kind remarks, and very much appreciated. Being prolific, I often have to come back to my poems to edit and revise, but I enjoy the process. All the best to you E
