Notes About The Poem

Reggae

reverberating night,
raucous in smoke filled room,
repetitive drum beat,
resonant voice arose,
recapturing lost soul,
rock to wisdom of song,
remember Bob, no cry!!

Great use of the word and syllable limit,Krish and very apt content. I didn't listen to much of this genre but really appreciated Bob Marley's songs.

Beautiful is the soul that feeds on wise poetry and dances on the beats of amazing melody! Awakening music ever resonates with lost souls as Bob Marley has ever reached out to hearts and minds with his reggae songs! Your Reggae has genuinely touched my soul! A great pleasure to read your profound and wonderful poetry, Krish! So much enjoyed reading! My deepest regards and blessings.
