Talking Drums, Being Human





I am a man about with words,
Sometimes you may be right to think
The English dictionary resides in my head  


Making connections seamlessly  
Like the weave of tapestry effortlessly
I am a man about with words  


If I was to be a priest, blessed to preach  
Hallelujah to my last word sentence we speak
One of those charismatic priest 


I would have had a mega church  
To animate my actions and words on stages  
I am a man about with words  


A poet no less  
Self proclaimed  as thus  
For I am a man about with words  


Politician with a flair
I am to wow the crowd
I am a man about with words


Talking drums will mimics my verses 
Sending sound waves across the landscape
Announcing, there is a man about w' words


Philosophy will carry a message in abstract The wise excited of it's parable, 
While others ponder over meaning. 


But some times I just stammer on "the" 
Being tongue tied, like a dream of nightmare 
I am a man about with words  


Still only human
When the talking drums go silent
With words "slipping through my fingers"


I am a man about with words
Being human, talking drums
I am a man about with words

  6. Love this brilliantly written poem Kodjo. When I first saw the picture it reminded me of my son who one year hitchhiked all the way across Canada with nothing but a backpack and his bongo drum. These are the things mother's nightmares are made of, but he is a 'man about music.' Love your creativity!

  10. You are pretty good at juggling words too. You managed to keep about a dozen of them flying through your poem.
