the sound of the alarm
IRRITATES the nerves.

washing machine
cleaning and renewing
the fabric that hides
our shame.

raindrops hit the windows
replenishing the thirsty earth.
ooooommmmmm....ooooommmmmm...ooooommmmmm...
the hum of electricity
has become repetition
in our lives.
BOOM! BOOM! BADA BADA BOOM! BOOM!
a knock at the door
who could it be?
everday sounds
creating Musical Madness.
LISTEN.

making beautiful music.
Listen to YOUR world
can't you see
it is playing a song for you.

Wow, this is nice. Grammar wasn't great, but the piece is. Gotta love onomatopoeia. Thanks for entering!
