My Poem

Hi everyone welcome back. I've written a poem myself with the Oak National Academy. My poem was inspired by Roger McGough. It's called the sound collector. My poem is 

The House Sound Collector

Verse 1

A stranger called this morning

Dressed all in black and grey

Put every sound into a bag

And carried them away

Verse 2

The nattering of the noisy adult

The humming of the microwave

The boiling of the hot water

The tapping of the clean, fresh water

The swirling of the roaring, dizzy wash machine 

Verse 3

The shouting of the loud children

The banging of the wooden whiteboard

The squeaking cleansed table

The ticking of the old, spotless clock

The drawing of the curtains

Verse 4

The flush of the white toilet

The squirting of the soap container 

The whirling of the toothbrush

Verse 5

The tweeting of the cute birds

The swaying of the huge, secure and tall trees

The calm, cool breeze

The spinning of the relaxing fan

Verse 6

A stranger called this morning

He didn't leave his name

Left us only silence 

The house will never be the same
