Description walking down fifth
ave.
heart racing
mind bracing
                  onto objects
                in the past
and i hear the music
                      and words
                        and thoughts
from a nearby poet
           his head pointing to the sky

joining in on his rhythm
                                                     adjoined souls
                                                                                spirits
                                                                                                voices
and the sun
beats down
and my feet

d a n c e      a  c  r  o  s  s       t h e       s  i  d  e  w  a  l  k
and i'm smacking gum
                           and singing
                                         rhyming stanzas

and the bass is thumping from a nearby car

no voices
are hushed
                             today
and the sun is singing
beating down
                                 reflecting
life

across the sidewalk

sweet... i appreciate the use of layout to add to the poem...in a way 'making' you read it and hear it a certain way...

good job.

'tis interesting indeed. If only you could remember the guy's name. One problem though, the line "...rhyming stanzas". Seeing how this poem doesn't rhyme that line doesn't fit.

This is just an extraordinary poem! It makes me want to come alive, to jump, to dance, to celebrate!
I hope you will think about getting your poems together in a collection and then submiting them to publishers!!! You have knocked my socks off today!!!
