" inside god " a sound poem by @greatdabu

greatdabu (51) in poetry • 8 years ago (edited)

before the beginning
out of time
all souls are there
awakening
to this earth’s creations
choosing timelines
to slide in on
through birth canals
in league with a greater being
wanting
with two eyes to see
creation
as it dreamed to be
between
morning and evening
still
inside god

It's chill and hip, I especially like the processing on the voice for texture, and your verse is compelling..

Isn't this what we've been calling "spoken word" for about 50 years now- poetry done with music/sound background with or without other media?

Gil Scott Heron didn't invent it either, it goes back a lot further- but he certainly raised the bar about 10 notches. He was certainly one of my favorites from the 1960's.

Thanks so much for your feedback @tvulgaris , much appreciated. Yes Gil Scott Heron was a great poetic force doing spoken word with music and maybe include the beatniks style with rhythm instruments..... Did you ever listen to The Last Poets? I think they were more in the 70's. They were in that camp as well. It's probably as old as humanity. And I'd say hiphop /rap is another branch on the spoken word tree. This sound-poem style going on here is another branch. The sound and the visuals and the actual words floating around is a spoken word style for the digital age. But the Poem is still the basis.

No I'm not familiar with AGF, but I'll look into her. Thanks so much for the compliment and follow. I will def reciprocate :) I'm just starting to hang out over on the discord Steemit Local Music Society channel. I'm going to figure out what I can add to the mix with ya'll ...........

She also goes by Antye Greie (I have no idea how that's pronounced)

I just joined the discord as well I'm finding it a bit confusing, not a ton of activity at the moment. Hopefully it picks up, cheers!
