Best Backbeat Poems

Never in secluded pools they dwell,
I speak of ornate  waterfalls,
they rise and fall majestically,
near docks, wharves and piers,
sparkle, gleam, smooth flow trickle,
eye balm whirl fantastic perk on tap,
stickybeak on podium rapids,
instigator signage when our trek seems dull,
but reflection is a gem warp cataract,
kinetic rebound...

Ownla won’t let it go
She won’t let it go
Her rhythm break steps are
 Certainly a characteristic Oh! could Ownla could sing
Man she could dance dance traditional
Has a cute smile, and a deep soul
Boy! She would love her man so
She was a backbeat, apple sweet
Her voice...

I heard the owl call my name,
like a backbeat in a child's voice,
etched in shadows of a father's grave,

lonely echoes on a frosted night...

at dawn I'll be immortal again,
renewed by a workaday 
and the frigid fiscal year,

my soul stays leafless in damp moonlight...

do we end...

By day the quarrymen

The music band understand
6 long month's they must wait
till their next recording session

They won't play the ashes all summer
In the winter garden 
With the shed at the bottom
Until the snow subsidies again

So pack away the grand piano
Bass drum 
Guitars
And clarinet

Time to reflect
And...

The b ba baaa backbeat of backup beeps
and the engine rroarrrrs
join the whizz of rubber wheels
and the lingering laughter of lovers
at the intersection

The beep-beep tootelie-toots
of arriving transit buses 
tickles the funny-bone of morning
waking somnambulant walkers
who dot the sidewalk below my perch,
even the slap of skate-boards
and...

Golden beams peeking,
songs of blues by the seashore;
Aghast jaws of life 
rebuild an eroded beach;
The solace of the sea stills;

At peace you marvel 
this melody can’t be real;
Nautical backbeat 
a compass for the broken;
Soothing sorrowful band aid;

Lush foam matches drums 
keeping such a sweet shuffle;
Sunshine...

D street daydreams,

watered down time,
diluted with a soured lime,

streaming like faces,
caught in tour bus windows,
shading eyes from mid day light,

a winking glint on distant water,

faint gulls cry winging over,
far off sand dunes like snowy plover,

wind blown hinting,
salt and sea,
as laughter floats formless,

flotsam on warm custard...

I think of you. 

	 You’re like a backbeat in my mind.

I wish I could mind

but I don’t.

I’ve long accepted my subservience 
to this 
elusive skein 
of a dream.


Now all I must do 
is 

wait…...

Gilt-edged first light visions greet 
zestful horde in trendy street
Luscious coffee bouncing bean
set alight a dormant scene 
Pumpkin seeds dot fresh brown toast
eager staff cool vibrant host 
Ghetto blasters rock and blare 
raucous voices split the air  
Backbeat sold on grey stone curb
manic newsstand...

Enticing beat,
ancient accolades, achieving ancestry
 backbeat barrage, buoyant beats
crescendo chorus  calculations
 dulled dirges, double drumming durations
environmental echoed egos
 faint, fading fervent falsettos;
Ghost-Note grooves
 hi-hat hoop heads hued
intended isolation idio-synchrony
 jembe jaunt journeyings
kidi kick knockings
 linear lick loggings
metronome mallets magical
 nostalgic notations neurological
ostinato off-beat odd-modulationss

MY SYLPH SITS ON A STAR

Baby here’s a symphony for a sylph such as you to dance with me
Here’s some homespun harmony to walk arm and arm with me
Here’s a rhapsody to wrap your arms around me
And here’s a melody you can sing to mellow...

A familiar dawn of dull and sunless sky
the inconstant rattle of unlocked door, which
plays a backbeat to the buzz of dying fly.
A breath of wind blows a high, discordant pitch;
wildly rings a wind bell on a porch nearby.

I should have repaired the door a while...
