A Cacophony Poem24 total reviews
Comment from Sonjalee
This poem fulfills the Cacophony poem. I liked the "sound to set God crying. Screeching minion, brawling squalls, the banshsee squeaks, and growls are good. Death shall toll the bell of mourning is a good way to end it.
It flows and the soulful sighing stirs ...Great!

Sonja, I think you're picking out all the rather sad pieces from my portfolio! They are far out-numbered by the funny ones.
Thanks for the great review.

Thank you!
We escaped lightly - no trees down, lost power for about 15 hours, our baby chicken coop blew over (chickens all safe in their big house). Ringside view of the Mangakahia River spreading for miles including over our back boundary. Cut off from town for a few days but that was no real hardship.

This is certainly a good cacophony for the writing prompt and I congratulate you on the win!! Lots of harsh words for great effect.

Comment from Delahay
You have written an eerily jarring poem that makes one think of dark nights with unknown, unexplained sounds that can scare us into hiding behind locked doors and drawn curtains.

A great poem about the clatter that comes out mouth of hell, great entry in this contest! A beautifully written and composed poem, the wording is exquisite, certainly deserves to be promoted beyond this contest! It was a privilege to read! Well done, good luck, blessings, Roy.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Excellent poem, written in a style reminiscent of one of my favorite poets of all time, Edgar Allen Poe. Darkly decadent and mysterious, there are many good examples of alliteration and great enjambment throughout. Your eloquent, carefully chosen words bring forth images of creaking coffin lids and the fluttering of leathery bat wings echoing inside a tomb.
Nicely done. I think you have a winner here!

Comment from LIJ Red
Not to fear.It's just the tires and sound systems and
bimbos and dopeheads and sirens and leaky exhausts screaming by at breakneck speed on the street. This poem looks excellent to me.

Comment from Acquired Taste
I definitely imagined noise. I turned down my tv to see if the high-pitched buzz was coming from my living room.
Nicely done and very visual. The artwork totally set the scene for the poem. Like the B&W of the artwork too.
Good luck. AT=/
