Sounds of the Subway

Whip, click, clip, umbrellas flatten near the stairs Stomp, slap, clap, echo footsteps here and there Rumble, rattle, honk! goes the subway along the tracks “Hey”, “Wait”, “No!”, voices shouting are just the facts. Scrape, screech, hiss, loud noises of metro brakes Clack, shudder, ping! sounds the electric doors make Clamp, clomp, pound, as the people stamp inside Whoosh, whisk, hummm, as we take our subway ride. 10/26/2021 Onomatopoeia

I think you have the London Subway covered there Laura. :) Anything trains and rhyme will always attract my attention. I'm glad I read this. Nice work. Cheers - Gary

Thank you, Gary. I go to NY often as I have family that live there. So I’ve taken the subway multiple times and usually enjoy the ride! :)
