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!
Bombshell For You
Tic.
Tic.
Tic.
The sound of a bomb before it blows.
He didn’t care?
He didn’t try at all?
The fuck am I here for?
Didn’t love me, didn’t fight.
He let me walk-
I felt like a pirate.
Out alone on a plank.
Didn’t try to sway my mind.
Didn’t try to make me stay.
He grabbed ahold of my heart.
Ripped it out with bloody nails.
And laughed as I bled.
Blade in my back.
Heart on my sleeve.
Doors slammed shut.
Mind switched up on me.
Tic.
Tic.
Tic.
Counting down the seconds.
The clock’s wide awake.
‘Til I can’t take it.
‘Til I buckle.
Takes all my strength to stand up right.
“Stand the fuck up.”
It’s what my mom said.
When she hit me and I fell.
“Stand the fuck up.”
It’s what you said to me.
When I took a beating.
From you, always you.
I’ve always been a ticking bomb.
You just happened to be the one.
The one to pull the plug-
B
