Joseph May Poet Triolet

Percussion's Groove

 Sound of the drumbeats stirred a move
 As they gathered for the war dance
 With movements to percussion's groove
 Sound of the drumbeats stirred a move
 Prepared for war, their skills to prove
 Blazing fire put them in a trance
 Sound of the drumbeats stirred a move
 As they gathered for the war dance

Susan Ashley June 13, 2024 at 6:02 PM Dear Joseph, the drumbeats unite the heartbeats as they prepare for war. A poem very deeply and viscerally felt. Superb! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Joseph May June 13, 2024 at 6:52 PM Thank you Susan

Andrea Dietrich June 13, 2024 at 1:10 PM Cool triolet, my friend. Inspired by anything in particular? Joseph May June 13, 2024 at 2:16 PM Thank you Andrea, It was inspired by the dance contest

Sam Kauffman June 13, 2024 at 12:35 PM There is such a sense of impending doom "as they gathered for the war dance," Joseph. Your words are written in the prophetic not in a for sure reality leaving open a place for hope and cooler heads to intervene! Would be wise for all of us to heed your warning and work for peace. Blessings! Joseph May June 13, 2024 at 2:15 PM Thanks Sam, We should strive for peace, but sometimes war cannot be stopped
