African Drum Poem by Simone Harriman

I can hear the drum, the voice. The repeated words (one word) and the descriptive lines work well together. I love the line, 'Awakened hungry hearts.' Well done. Thanks for sharing! :)

loved the interplay of words and rising tempo in the beat of the words

Poets Drown In Word River Oceans poets love juxtaposition interplay of words poets love rising tempo in fire beat of words poets are lost drown in ocean rivers of words Copyright © Terence George Craddock Inspired by the poem 'African Drum' by Simone Inez Harriman. Dedicated to the poet Simone Inez Harriman.

The repetition works well here, establishing both a tempo and a train of thought and emphasis. (Have you considered removing the a from line 3?) Danny

I truly commend you for the sentiment expressed in this cleverly written poem. You are a talented lady.

Poverty, inequality, oppression Seething they swarm In military fashion..........Is this the picture of Africa? May God bless Africa and her wel -wishers. Beautifully painted.Thanks for sharing.

a poem with the heartbeat of a divided nation? ...................well penned Simone

In exact words and picture. I'm in that side of the world to attest to this. God bless Africa. God bless her well-wishers. Thank you, dear poetes. Don't stop now!

Mj has again commented unerringly on the heartbeat of this fantastic poem. Love well-done repetition- it is a very valuable tool in the poet's tool box. May Freedom Rise the world over and in the individual hearts of mankind, not just for themselves but for others at the same time. 10++++++++++++++++++++++
