The Sounds of Home

Home Children laugh and play Pop, pop, the popcorn is ready Waaa, waaa baby needs her bottle Bark, bark the puppy needs to go outside Click, click, click daddy works on the computer Sizzle, sizzle, pop, pop mommy is cooking dinner Bam, bam, bam brother plays the drums Tip, tap, whirl sister is practicing a dance The leaves rustle outside in the backyard Ho hum, mommy yawns, it’s time for bed Thump, brother falls on his knees to pray Shhhh, quiet now my child it’s time to sleep Muah a goodnight kiss for all the children ZZZZZZ the family is all snug in their beds 10/19/2021 Written for Onomatopoeia Poetry Contest Sponsored by Emilie Pinet
