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.
