POEM STARTER

Start a poem with an onomatopoeia and end it with a different one.

An onomatopoeia is a word that mimics the sound of something such as bark, boom, or screech. These sounds can tell a story if used effectively!

Shots Fired

Scratch, scratch, scratch.

The sound of a pencil rubbing against the paper as I wrote.

Nothing too noticeable. We were all looking down at our papers.

We thought nothing would interrupt our peace.

The announcements blared, a bang echoed nearby.

I prayed to the Lord above, grabbing my pencil and hiding behind the other end of the door.

The man walked in, armed and ready.

He was ready. But I wasn’t ready to go yet.

The man aimed.

Bang, bang, bang.
