A City Song Poem by Rebekah Gamble

A City Song

Rating: 5.0


There’s a constant rumble
To the pounding beat
Of the people’s hearts
As the rhythm of the street.

There's a constant rhythm
In the rolling of their feet.
There’s a constant thunder
To the dancing on the street.

There’s a roaring tide
In the people that I meet.
There’s a constant tremble
Of marching on the street.

There’s a blast of soul
Of the music on the street.
There’s a newborn rhythm
Of humanities' heat.

It’s the constant shouting,
And the constant heat,
It’s life’s own anthem
In the raging of the street.

There’s a constant rumble
Of people’s rolling feet.
There’s a constant thumping
Of the streets' heart beat.

There’s a new soul’s rhythm
Of the angles and the heat
Of the people and the buildings
Being the rhythm of the street.

It’s an ancient hold,
It’s a new world beat.
It’s the never-ending rhythm
Of the singing of the street.

This poem read like a song, it had that beat. Should be set to a melody. Good work.

Magnifique encore. I like your choice of images and words. They match to illustrate and reinforce what is happening and being said. The repetitive phrases (There is a contant____' reinforce this effect.) I like your way of saying things: life's own anthem, blast of soul, newborn rhythm, humanity's heart, and new world beat. Le poème est symphonique.
