The Drum That Beats Within Us by Mike BondMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Drum That Beats Within Us is a collection of poetry that explores the elements of nature, what nature can provide, what nature can take away, and how humans are connected to it all. The best way to describe the feeling of the collection is if you wander through a shaded forest that opened up to a clearing, and you sat in the soft grass while watching the clouds roll in.
Not every poem is based in nature, and all have unique qualities. There are rhyming poems, free verse, as well as varying lengths. I tended to enjoy the shorter ones, though the long ones take their time to explore the topic at hand.
