Premium Member Drummer

Premium Member Daydream Drumbeat
I was a bed and mattress tester, a dream job like that of a yellow moon. I tested the comfort of beds, pillows, etc., for night is ever coming soon. I studied sleep patterns too, like vivid rainbow's colored, striped design. I also appraised sleep products, as botanists do royal rose's genetic line. I rated beds for luxury hotels,...

Beat the Drums
Beat the drums; aye, beat the drums! Make them go stark raving mad— These likes of Emperor Jones. 1 The criminals' courts play house. Adzes don't cut their own tails. 2 Where are Clinton, Bush, and Trump? 3 'We' are the people, the mob. 4 'We' are judges; 'we' punish. They should be ripped limb from limb. Peaceful rallies will not do. The...

Jeepers is playing the clarinet. We have Sheepster on the cymbals. Cowster is on the drums. Why does Cowster always get the drums? Whined rooster. No one knew the answer, but it is the way it has always been. Pleasing Cowster....

I Heard the Drums
As the drums go off in the cavern we a whole village sit together in unison we end up foaming green bubbles and slime from our mouths and our eyes going back white as snow which we will never see. The man in the middle was an albino pastor, his name was Nimbus and...

Premium Member Drums and Flutes
and the drums beat, beat, beat and flutes and voices float and the eagle calls me and the wolves howl, howl, howl oh, a wind is whistling, whirling, whispering come, come, come and in the stillness I am an Ojibway girl seeking my lost heritage I bow to the grandfather spirits in the sky telling them with respect that I am trying to find my place and the drums...

War Drums
War drums beat with patriotic zeal, Heroic soldiers stand to defend and heal. International aid flows to the scene, As gruesome media images paint a scene. Smart bombs and bullets rain from the sky, More soldiers sent to fight and die. But when will this cycle come to an end? When will peace and diplomacy finally...

Premium Member Eight Years Old
Eight Years Old I’m eight years old, nearly nine But I’ll never get there There’s not enough time I’m a delinquent youth Trapped in an old body I’d still love a trainset Though I am a fuddy duddy. Clothes at Christmas, but I feel slightly miffed I wanted a gadget For my Christmas gift. New headphones, or A new guitar, set of drums You’re right it’s really bazaar. My wife...

Drums and Crowd
It's as Early as the first drop of a water Water from no ocean, just purification and sweat All are illusion. In a square garden full of grown habitant full of beard, squirk face,beautifying set of rags and a weakling nature of ideology Stretching and footing like a king in a Palace, living luxury in the...

Bliss pulsates in our head ovoid, love’s pristine essence, unalloyed, looping form over front and back, extinguishing feeling of lack, as soma nectar feeds our soul, borne of divine grace we extol, felt within as magnetic heat, suffusing us from head to feet. 07-September-2022...
