My First True Love - A poem about a drum from Joel Rothman

September 30, 2025 Joel Rothman

This poem falls under the “only a drummer would understand'‘ or “ If you know, you know” category. Thanks, Joel. The drum bug never dies, does it? George

My first true love
was a love at first sight.
Her slim round body
with unmarked skin
was white as snow.
Clothed in solid black
with silver colored trim,
when she spoke
her voice was loud and clear.
My first true love—
a beautiful new snare.
