The essence of funk

I feel that groove

The bass firing

The guitars'a screeching

The singer howling

 

Then the rolling beats

That Jazz drummer

Pounding the skins

Rattling the shells

 

The crowd in a frenzy

Free love flows

Hallucinations floating

Noone gives a damn

These halls

Are the essence of funk

I love music, and writings about music, and you have captured the kind of smooth rhythm and defiance of funk music in this. Your poem echoed the style of the music genre it described. I love the sound imagery, the "pounding" and "rattling", and especially the reference to "these halls" which is a phrase more asscociated with funk genres of music than any other. A haapier poem from you, but still fiery and defiant, and altogether untamed. It's what I love about your writing. Keep it up and keep sending the RRs.

This poem made me think of a concert I went to, although it was a rock concert rather than funk. There were people screaming and singing... Unfortunately there were a few annoying teens who thought it'd be cool to start this mosh pit crap, but whatever. It was one of the best concerts I've been to!
Now, about the poem. It was great! A good little description of this form of music you seem to be so fond of. :3

A short but sweet capturing of mood and feel. Short and to the point, good use of atmosphere and description, but I think you could definitely build on this and develop it as I feel it's just a little too brief, just as I started to feel the mood, it ended! I like how your short and punchy sounds, short syllable words, short lines, reflect punchy funk bass lines.

Great poem. I'd love a concert myself.

This was delightful to read, as a fan of funk. Great imagery:

That Jazz drummer
Pounding the skins
Rattling the shells

What can I say? I absolutely love drummers! *laughs* thanks for the memories!

[M.Babu]

I like it when you write this way!

Thumbs up!
