Best Drum Poems

your labored breathing
called out to me
and in my soul I knew
what needed to be done

I reached for the drum
to summon the spirits
called out to ancestors
and anyone who’d listen

gently tapping to the rhythm
of our beating hearts
united as one in a prayer
released to the universe

filled the silence...

listen to the drum,

talking to the dance

listen to the elders, 

whispering their chants

listen to the hooves, pounding on the plain

listen to the birds, prophesying rain

listen to the moon, time to plant the grain

listen to the tales, told around the fire

listen to the breeze, and the...

Drum beat
  The sound of hearts
Beating to love's smooth rhythm
Sometimes a  brokenhearted  tune
  Hoping for another chance at love's oft
 Moody melodic emotions
That dance upon  lyrics,  
   The beat goes on...
  Drum beat

Drum sets take up all the space here.
They have filled several rooms.
Big sets, little sets, sparkly sets, red and brown sets.

Drum sets for everyone!
Filling up closets, bedrooms and the garage.
If we get another one, we will have to put it in the bathtub.
There is no...

My heart, it is a beating drum
and it dances to many a note.
This sweet, song plays; 
by God, is recorded.
Part of the heavenly band;
a spiritual lilting light.

In Gods light,
my beating drum,
sings along with the band
rings out its notes.
A best-selling record,
finite, in its play.

A mortal song...

My wife found an Indonesian drum that she couldn’t live without,
It was a ceremonial one used to play for all who remain devout.

It had brightly colored beads and paint to decorate its side,
And it grabbed her by the imagination and would not be denied.

“Are you...

A drum with a voice I am
Active, proud and can smile
Made of cow-hide and wood
I can mime and make noise
I am here to be hired to shout
Provoked I make useful noise

Wood is my switch-board
Strike me with wooden sticks
And I dance for you twisty
Cool soothing dance
The...

I hear the echoes of days gone by
in your voice tonight and I sigh

Does she still live in your heart
don't tell me, i don't want to get smart

but I can feel my throat getting bigger
lets look at the bright side I figure

Will we meet tonight...

" A Drum Major - Martin Luther King, Jr. ... "

( Rom. 13: 7 / Joel 2: 28 )


A Man Stood Up For Courage
In A Time, Others Condoned Evil
A Man Stood Up For Honor
In A Nation's Long-Hidden Upheaval

At A White House, On A Hill
With A...

The stream of music 
Has in it an instrument 
Talking beats, not singing,
And sending legs into a frenzy 

The hook of a Demigod 
Knocking the round bald head 
Of the talkative 
As it yelps in pain 

The hook romantically patting 
The head of a voluptuous...

Just wish in this lonely moment of time
I could hold and hug you right now dearest

Taking you love under my wings floating into another world 
Where smiles they dance with joy inside such a blessing gift

Having you sweet for-get-me-not's draws happy visions 
where the sunshine...

Your body fills with adrenaline, 
Your soul starts jumping, 
Against the tough hide, 
There is a constant thumping, 
The sound beats against your ears, 
A beautiful rhythm, to my eyes brings tears, 
Never will you hear anything so soothing, 
Yet so spirited bound to get...

The city in the summer nights,
Beats a steady drum rhythm. Slow

Living does RHYME with time. 
Strange be a drastic decision
Proceeding without permission.
Bad luck? Nothing but superstition.

Lying leads to reprimanding in. The 
Lime light to pretending.

Love letters lead to a romance rekindled 
And some slow dance...
