Sound Poems | Examples of Sound Poetry

“Doo-doo, doo-doo,” we hear the beast coming. Music gets under our skin. The worst of attacks, narrated by the boat’s captain. Unsettling sink of the USS Indianapolis. Just below the hull, a giant life wanting to strike a blow. This boat a smaller target. Getting chummy, stomachs lurching. Baited by grimmer details. A solid blow to the vessel. All hands on deck...

Day is done and night now comes; flowers fade and birds sleep. Hear the wolf, he sings a love song; through the darkness deep. Hear the shadows weave their lullaby; weave a soft melody. As you dream, they sing their gentle song; sing for you and for me. As the day fades, and night begins; let your dreams arise. Watch as the starlight dances along through...

The howling wilderness reminds me of belated voices ready to be heard, brewing in those once trapped in silence A long lived message that is waiting to be told for those who are ready to listen, ready to learn A call as rare as a shooting star in the middle of the night Important as the Northern Lights, colorful, meaningful bringing...

ANOTHER THOUGHT ON QUITE RINGING EARS The ears continue to ring out profound silence, echoing life: When the echoes reveal, Wisdom and understanding? Ringing silent ears; let us give God thanksgiving for echoing life: Without the quiet ringings, Would we be in this loud world?! Let us be happy; wisdom and understanding quietly ringing out: God speaks in so many ways: Think of quiet ears ringing:- ...

Creatures chirrup, chirp and tweet Or warble in their way, All so that in case they meet, They’ll know just what to say. It’s kind of like a human text Or email or a call, Preparing what to talk of next If they connect at all. Or maybe all this reaching out Is just to hear expressed The sounds that show what we’re about To...

A voice once warm now fades into the stone, Its last confession lost to bitter air. The walls remember, though I stand alone— An echo hums where once you whispered care. Your shadow drips from dusk like melting snow, Too soft to grasp, too cold to let me be. I call your name in vain, but even so, The echo answers—never truly...

God and the Angels descend Melody echoes The harps obey The Mighty beam stretches from Heaven to Earth The prophecy established Judgement through redemption Heaven’s count Spans worldwide Tongue confessions A world awakened Not knowing the outcome Woes to better Chances after chances Chosen one’s No pause No more wait Time has accelerated The time clock stopped Moment of truth Standing on promise Heaven’s commitment Biblical words held true Gather and listen in the cracked...

Without making a single sound, a ball of yarn, my cat unwound. Meanwhile, my dog had more to say, whiling away the gray Tuesday. Barking loudly, he buried a bone. I whispered sadly on the phone....

Lighting Tomorrow Memory’s lantern near empty unfilled Each night in the darkness to flicker until Your eye without warning a flash unexplained Forever relighting and fanning — the flame (Dreamsleep: June, 2025) Shamal Winds Lost in the deepest recesses of myself And happier than I have any right to be The hidden regions my newfound oasis A Bedouin convert — home among the sands (The New Room: June, 2025) Infestation The American Dream becoming a nightmare ... Conscripted by strangers new thieves in the night Usurping our freedoms embedded among us Invested in nothing but — what they...

Recently, there was a subtled battle, Between the sound from a shop and the piano. At first, it was just a small issue, Eventually it grew bigger and uglier. For exactly eleven months, I have been playing the piano for fun, The unique half a century old melodies, Have brought so much joy and effective therapy, To the public and to me. I made...

Such a sensitive soothing sound, As the words float around, My thoughts are bound, To what I've found, A profound state of bliss, As I witness it all unfold, Uncovering the gold in silence, The power in presence, As my essence flows through reality, Affecting all I see, Knowing it's a reflection of me, A...
