Beat! Beat! Drum! by Walt Whitman


I like this poem because it has a distinct rhythm. I also like how it has a pattern of ideas, so that the stanzas are similar but with different specifics. I wonder about what drums he is talking about; it could be the heartbeat. I think that the rhythm is so strong because it is supposed to sound like a dream beat.
