The Beat

Tap to the beat

Amare, amor

Flow with it

I tap and clap

The beat is sweet

Play it on repeat

I hum and nod

Is it me

Or it's the beat

I cant stop it

I won't stop it

Glad to hear it

Glad i found it

Flows in my veins

Tap clap hum nod

I cant resist

Stand jump shout dance

It ends and reloops

I never notice

Loop to eternity

The snares and kicks

Indeed genius work

Perfect transitions

Drop to the ground

Jump to the sky

I let it control

My mind bones flesh heart

But its not fun

To dance alone

I tap alone

Nod alone

Hum alone

The beat slows down

I sit and think

I think deep

I shake my head

Bury my face in my hands

Look to the sky

The birds cant dance

I look around

They wont feel it

The rhythm in the beat

I close my eyes

Let the beat rule

I wont stop it

It picks speed

I gain hope

I stand up

Hum nod tap clap

It reloops

I hear the beat

Wherever i may be

The mp3 in my heart

The speaker in my mind

Glad i feel it

I live the beat

Amare, amor

Hello, here for another review.

This poem was also pretty good. The verses are really short and usually contain a similar number of syllables, so that gives a really good and fast flow to your poem, which makes me doubt if it actually is a poem or if it not, in fact, a song. (And if it were a song, I'm sure it would be a really catchy one that people would play at clubs or something)

Now, there aren't really many mistakes that need to be fixed, but there are still a few things I must say.

When you talk about yourself, "i" is always capitalized:

Glad I found it
Although, most of the time, mistakes like this one are typos, you should still watch out for them, because they can make your poem lose apparent quality.

Then, contractions always use apostrophes:
I can't stop it


In sentences like this one, where you enumerate things, a comma would make it look better:
My mind, bones, flesh, heart


After those mistakes which repeat themselves a few times, nothing else seems to be wrong. Good job on your poem, and keep on writing cool things!

Hi there!

I like the twist into this sadder, deeper feeling about being alone. That love for the beat and sadness at not having anyone to share it with. The recognition that others (like birds) will never appreciate it. And I like the repetition at the end.

The beat is strong, but not as strong as it could be. I actually struggled a bit to hear it, and for this kind of poem it should be hit-you-over-the-head-with-it obvious. Think about ways it could become clearer; it might be easier if the lines are combined or longer.

Hope this helps! Good jamming! :D
