CHEERFUL NOISE as in a poem

Today's poem I thought Modernism for the first time after reading Faustin Charles' poem  Landscape  and seeing the photography exhibition of Yasuhiro Ishimoto's work. The poem praises Charles' island Trinidad and Tobago and Ishimoto shot Katsura Imperial Villa (  https://bit.ly/33hu8OH ) from the viewpoint of Modernism. Ishimoto's work was created with sensations and super-prominent skill at that time. His multi-exposure photos impressed me so much and others evoked Ray K. Metzker (  https://bit.ly/2V8qZMI  ). Sensations and highest skill - poetry needs, too.  Viv by Faustin Charles Like the sun rising and setting Like the thunderous roar of a bull rhino Like the sleek, quick grace of a gazelle, The player springs into the eye And lights the world with fires Of a million dreams, a million aspirations. The batsman-hero climbs the skies, Strikes the earth-ball for six And the landscape rolls with the ecstasy of the magic play. Through the covers, the warrior thrusts
