This is the sound of the beat of a different drum Can you feel it pulsating in your blood It's the only thing i hear, day and night It keeps me moving, the sound, the beat I've been living like this, breathing like this Back before i learned it's pulse, can you feel it Takes me on, alluring and bewitching me As i go on living, I find myself humming the tune, humming the music of the drum Catches on to those few, who have heard it before Haunting them, following them, can you hear it These are the few that make the drum beat They carry it with them, along side of them And to the ones who don't know, don't understand This is the sound of the beat of a different drum "It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh it's my mouth that pushes out this breath..."-FTE |

One of the pleasures I derive from reading poetry is the periodic unique poem that stands apart from most themes. Yours was one of the unique ones, and you did a very good job communicating your feelings. Never stop listening to that beat of the "different drum". It will define the special person that you are. Nice work! Danny |

nights: i like the symmetry between the off-rhythm beat of the poem and the idea of "the beat of a different drum"... pretty clever there... keep up the good work sincerely, jerome the mysterious priest Disarm you with a smile And leave you like they left me here To wither in denial The bitterness of one who's left alone --[billy corgan]-- |
