I felt like putting some rythmn in my poetry with modern sounds of music. I like the sound of all music. But these just set me in the mood for this moment to put it into poetic form. So I thought I’d share this verse I made up within the space of three minutes as I was taking a stroll with pen and paper in hand.

I have to break dance

To get back on track

Hip!  hop!  back!

With a drum and base

Can you hear the beat

With a little soul!

In my heart

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Clap with the rapper

Rap! Rap! Rap!

Roll with a rocker!

Roll! Roll! Roll!

R and B will set my ways

Homeward bound I will sway!
