Don't you just love the megawatt base after dark? round here the stereo is worth more than the house they park the car next to. BaDUM!!BADumm!! Just dumb.
So what's the word on the cowboys?
I love the sounds ! I thought those letters were the name of a place!
Chish reminds me of Cheeesh!
Thanks-
Staccato bursts I see here, Brian! Lots of fun with words. Yes, great word play! Nicely!
Hank
Rapping in the city. I do not live near that rhythm and activity but you sang it well. You must write me a poem about dirt bikes and country western boomboxes across the river at sunset. Worse than it sounds!
Good rhythm to this piece. Loved it man.
Love the wordplay here! Love the rhythm. I could see this done as a You-Tube video!
Aren't they fabulous to watch too. So daring, or silly....lol
Great 55
Love the beat!! Quite rhythmic...Love it
Hugs

oh i love to watch them...and you brought the scene so alive with the sound and great rhythm..
The urban jungle of of...Lynchburg?
(Just messin wit ya)
Perfect peek into the daily drama Son.
This could be ANY city, (exceptin maybe Possum Hollow)
Fantastic 55
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Um... basketball?
chISH is an awesome word. The cadence of this was pulsing with beautiful, brave, ragged life.
I'm totally lost, Brian. What was I supposed to be listening to?
Birth and death as sudden, as much a matter of chance(or focus?) as a good hoop shot, and the sounds, that exaggerated pulse of life, the bass heartbeat that shakes glass--great imagery in this short one, brian--even my ruralized butt can feel the 'juke and airwalk swoosh.'
Love how the words FEEL like skatepark!

It's fun to watch them livin life through your eyes. Nice title and sounds, my love! Think we need another trip to the skate park soon.

nicely played miller :)
A bit of a change from all the Hindi music I have heard for the past five months. You have such a talent. At least, you didn't blast my eardrums.
My 55 is at: http://rnsane.blogspot.in/2012/10/friday-flash-55.html#links
oh my gosh, extraordinaire, I read it out loud,loved it, now that's a
wrap
I meant a rap
When I lived in the city, the music was different but the scene so similar. It was du op in those days. Oh my, I'm getting old.
Like this a lot - makes me think - the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Seems like a rap song to me. Couldn't understand much :-(
I hear a beat, young, restless, full of passion and possible mischief.
Playing with words is fun to do and hear! Loved it...
I can not only see it, I can hear it. Great, as always!
Fun piece, Brian. Did you dance, too? = )
Fun Brian! Chish!
You've got rhythm that's for sure! Fantastic poem! I am a new follower from Sicily!
Oooops, I didn't realize I was already following you:)
Sheesh! A sounding board. k.
a lovely dance. especially for my tongue as I tried read that first stanza.
This is so rich with sound and action and I feel as though I standing on the sidelines watching it all.
One of the finest 55s you've ever written.
A good poem that can be applied to the current situation in Spain.
it's been a while since I've hung around a skate park or basketball playground, but your use of words and sounds really brought it all back.
Well done. :)
I like the sounds and beat of this urban dance ~
Wishing you happy weekend ~
Hi! Brian...
Try saying these words fast or 100 times:
"brick back drop,
blacktop drop back,
no black board, back board..."
lol
Thanks, for sharing [the image that compliment] your poetic words:which seems to have movement, a flow, a rhythm, an[d] a beat Of their own...too!
[I hope that you and your readers, have a great week-end too!]
deedee :)
To witness anyone display skills they've perfected is a thrill and a blessing. But when it is the young* Peeps showing the fruit of their sweat-and-tears, I become happy...and smile, knowing the world is going to be OK, left in the hands of Peeps like these.
...and of course, poets who immortalize them--grin!!!!!!!
*Do "old" guys and dolls do this also?
A terrific 55-word piece, Sir!
PEACE, Sir!
Delicious word play. Wonderful stuff, feeds the child in all of us. I just love it.
Love the beat, Brian. Keep drumming...smiles.
Fun to watch :)
Great illustration and extremely vivid images painted. All in 55 words...YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! Have you and your family a truly blessed weekend. hugs shakira
Your words are so good, Brian. I can hear and see everything you write so vividly!
The sights and sounds are vividly depicted; I feel like I am there.
Cool! Cool!..

LOVING the rhythm of this, Brian! fabulous fifty-five!
Every time seems to have a rumble of some sort. But I have to say that the vibration coming from within the cars that makes everything around shake a bit, is a bit much.
Wonderful word play, blending the soft and hard sounds. Love, "reps birth and die in moments". Quiet here in the country. I don't miss the baDUM at all!
I could definitely hear these words and the beat they hammered out. Well done, Brian!
=)
