The Daily Poem: Day 5 - -K.C. and the Mouse

K.C. and the Mouse

Clatter! Clink! Eek!
K.C. dropped the soup spoons in the sink
when she felt a mouse
skitter across her bare feet.

Eek! Eek! Eek!
She ran out of the house.
Slam! Bang! Crash!
The screen door fell off of its hinges.

Poet's Note: ▼

Prompt: ONOMATOPOEIA - Write a poem using onomatopoeia   and abstract imagery. The choice of topic/item/person/etc. is up to you.
Restrictions: At no point may you name or directly indicate the thing/person/emotion/whatever you are talking about in the poem, title, or description. *You may, if you wish, include a dropnote to give your reader context. You will not be penalized for the dropnote, however, I won't be checking it. You may NOT use drip, drop, pitter, patter, tick, tock, ding, dong, splish or splash. You MUST use at least one of the following: fizz, gulp, murmur, hush, or jangle. You can use them all if you want, but you must use at least one. Helpful resource because I'm awesome like that: onomatopoeia words   .
