Have You Ever Heard Alouette

Sound poem.

Have you ever been to a party?
Do you listen to its sounds?
The sound of children's laughter 
Ringing through the house, the sound of the meat 
sizzling on the BBQ,the thumping thud of children
Running,the chatter of parents talking,the crackle
Of dry leaves being trampled

The ding of the doorbell
As more people arrive,the crinkle and tear of presents 
being opened, the bark of the dog playing with the children,
The sound of music echoing through the halls,the chirping of birds, 
the cry of a baby.
Do you hear what I hear?

Talicia You did a nice job with the description and imagery that I could actually hear the events happening and see it going on. Thank you for the nice comment on my Vampire poem. Glad I could inspire you.

Excellent description. I'm more of a loaner, so I would've entitled it "When Will They Leave?"....lol. Keep up the good work. I, for one, will keep reading your great poetry! Ttyl8r...
