Rhythm Of the Drum Prima Poetry

rhythm of the drum
darkness rise
tainted blue skies
behind dark trees...

traveling through the cosmos
passed ocean surface
to other side of the mountain...

around and around beat goes
spinning above the drum
like wind
spiraling in the air

across blue ocean
land of no man
dead tree branches
makeshift cot for resting...

in darkness of night
hazy blue skies
pulled high
into the cosmos
spiraling among constellations...

darkness all there was
eyes appeared in dark matter
looked down at me
then disappeared
into the expanse...

above land and sea
I walked in the earth
no mans land
where only darkness exist
With shadows of light.

instead of the beat being one drumming it changed..i"m not sure how to explained the change except that it was maybe 2 or 3 beat of a different tempo

Just tell us what you see on your eyelids. Don't worry about the poetry, that comes later.

I really enjoyed your images. Each stanza seemed a vision on its own,
two connecting closely, but the rest loosely. The loosely connected ones,
especially the last one, reminded me of the mind jumping from place to place
without taking into account either space or time.

The most powerful reaction
of mind on mind
is transference of sight

I wasn't sure what to write so i wrote what happened when I listening

wasn't sure if that was what was acceptable to change the poem in this workshop to that extent

Good imagery, description of floating above yourself and looking down, really excited to see what part 2 entails.

Keep Writing,
