Participation Anticipation

March 16, 2010
Still another Creative Writing assignment. Write a sound poem--inspired by sound, about sound, play with sound. This one is fun to read aloud.


Let the assignment begin.

Hear the pencils
skritch, scratching
patching together words,
words of a kind
two of a kind
words that rhyme.
Hear the clock click
tick tocking
tick mocking
my heartbeat
a new beat
from my seat
in the front
front, frontal lobe,
sighing
trying
to brainstorm,
storm my brain
with new not C
thoughts.
A muffled cough
a snuffle soft
throws me off
track
ing the line of reason
and rhyme,
what was it this time?
Time
time keeps on
waiting for the moment,
the long awaited moment,
the moment that started the moment
I entered the room.

Pencils down.
