Earth's Song

Tribute to Larry Dyson I picture him saying these words.

Listen

Listen

To the beat

Beat of the drum

Earth

Mother Earth

Sing her song

 

Feel

Feel

The vibrations

Beneath your feet

Pulsing

Humming

Telling her story

 

Look

Look

Beyond your door

A world awaits

Shining

Shimmering

With visual appeal

 

Savor

Savor

Delectable fruits

Salivate for more

Nature

Nature produces

Forever more

 

Aroma

Aroma

Oh so divine

Sooth the senses

Loam

Fertile loam’s

Scent under your feet

 

Dance

Dance

Rejoice each day

Respect each creature

Of land

And sea

[Lorry]

It reads to me like a whisper, making the audience pay more attention to what is being said and joining the connection that the speaker feels.
I know it wasn't spoken word, but it was in my head as i read it, to the sound of a gentle breeze or waves lapping onto a beach.
Would definitely suit that, despite my spoken voice sounding like i gargle gravel each morning 😀

[Poetic Beauty]

To me it has a beat and tempo so I agree with the spoken word aspect

[Lorry]

The beat could be a pulse/ heartbeat. You should give it a try, i can already hear it.

[Poetic Beauty]

Oh no I have a horrible speaking voice. Lol spoken word is not my thing

[Lorry]

I hear ya. Well, actually, i don't 😀

[Ladysue]

What a highly upbeat piece here..It vibrates harmony..and is a beautifully expressed message..made me smile..very uplifting..the excitement in your voice..

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I am glad you could feel the upbeat emotional tempo of this piece.

[Enigma]

I can picture myself walking through a forest while reading this. Beautiful message and imagery. :)

[Poetic Beauty]

It gives you a calming feeling just thinking about nature doesn't it? I am glad you could picture the imagery in your mind.

[Shaquana Adams]

This poem has a really easy flow to it. It really does sound like a song because of the repetition. Great work :)

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. This has a very spiritual feel for me and it is a tribute to my fellow friend and writer on here Larry Dyson.

[Sami Khalil]

A wondrous rhythmic poem that soothes the senses...Bravo..................

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. This is a tribute to Larry Dyson a fellow writer on here. The words just seemed to flow from brain to paper on this one. It wan't a piece I had planned to write but rather one my muse screamed had to be done.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. Good to know...You are welcome...:)...............

[Madalyn Beck]

I like how everything flows. Definitely paints a beautiful picture. Good work!

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. This is a tribute to a dear fellow friend writer on here. He is a great person inside and out.

[Madalyn Beck]

He should be honored! :)

[David Scott]

I like the vibe here. Ok, I did not like repeating the two syllable words "Aroma" and "Savor". The one syllable words worked great, but I tripped up on those... Maybe repeat those two words by using it in the first line and last line of the stanza. It will not look as symmetrical but it will feel and sound more rhythmic I think.
Whatever... I did enjoy the poem.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thanks for the input. If it changed it I would change aroma to smell and savor to taste. I am glad you did enjoy this piece though.

[David Scott]

Ah... yes. I think your idea stays with your original format better.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the repetition makes this work so well rhythmically...

and a really stirring tribute...makes each reader wish he or she would have been the subject of this.

[Poetic Beauty]

larry is a dear friend and this poem just came to me out of the blue. I am glad you liked the repetition.

[redflutterby]

What a gentle poem....soft and rhythmic. And another beautiful ode to a fellow poet. Great work here.

[Poetic Beauty]

Larry is a dear friend and this poem just spoke to me. I had to get it down on paper today.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

This is a lovely tribute!...like a sweet chant, rejoicing the purity of mother nature...

A fabulous write, well done!~xoxo~:)

[Poetic Beauty]

Larry is a dear dear friend. He has this strong but gentle soul. The words and idea just came out of the blue and formed.

[Larry Dyson]

What a true joy to see this prose , written for Me , ty Dear Heart...and such a blessing it is in your Words...Laury

[Poetic Beauty]

I picture this as your words spoken to people around you. I saw it as your mantra. I am glad this touched your heart.

[Larry Dyson]

Ty sweet lady I also loved the Mermaid Ode you wrote for Poppy....very Dear People you are to Me...Laury

[Poetic Beauty]

You and Poppy are dear friend to me and these poems came to mind and just seemed to flow. There are a few people I want to write poems for but I wait until the words come on their own. I am thrilled you liked both these pieces. I wrote one a while back called Jazz man for the Analog Kid.
