My Emperor's Three Legged Throne

Nimblest stick skims hit drum skin
         Bring submittance to my ears afore deafened
                Transmitted rhythm rips something 
         Transcribes fusion to percussionless essence 


                Slight vibration of battered recipient 
          Resonates hot with beat's cogent command
               Arcaic lyrics kept frosted ambivalent
         Snare wires wrap me tight with dire demand


               Equipped persistent musician tender
       Taps jazz ostinato out until my innards revolt
              Sends suddenly a heart buzz centred
        Haphazard feeds my ardent uncovered pulse


            Simultaneous cymbal clash climactic 
      Existing utterly in thrum ghost note's vacance
           Subdivision given in drummer's frantic 
       Twirled gut spasms driven by his incessance

David Kavanagh Date: 10/17/2020 9:07:00 AM How on earth did you break down the acoustics of percussion, into such a wonderful equation of a poem, I wouldn’t have thought it possible Sigrid, definitely more to you than meets the eye or ear, and I’m so glad I cannot figure it out, a mystic mystery, keeps me guessing and intrigued, cheers David Login to Reply Sigrid Ermine Date: 10/17/2020 7:01:00 PM Hey, gorgeous David. Yes, I was attempting to disguise love making antics within the theme of drum playing. Cheers, ta for stopping by.
