onomatopoeia - Trifecta Writing Challenge
Man lights a cigarette
Creaky gray Ford
Takes a bump then lump
On a dirt road
Enclosed in deep dirt walls
Brooding trees
Flies hum then buzz
Road kill
Flat as a flitter
A mix of thoughts, experiences, flash fiction, poetry and humor of Ann Bennett.
Quixotic is something that is idealistic to the point it is impractical. Somebody must have been talking about me I washed cat food cans ...
I love country roads. This has that peaceful feeling to me!
ReplyDeleteLove the work combinations Anne bump lump / hum buzz / flat flitter :) fun to read
ReplyDeleteAnn, one time in Baltimore, on the freeway, we hit, of all things, an iguana! I still remember the distinctive bump and lump sensation...
ReplyDeleteLoved this-the creaky ford and the cigarettes. The good old days:)
haha I can hear the creaking :D
ReplyDeleteI can never look at road kill - makes my stomach turn! Your descriptions are great - I especially like the sound of 'flat as a flitter.'
ReplyDeleteGreat story in a wonderful poem. Loved the sights and sounds created here.
ReplyDeleteI felt right at home with your ending phrase (except they say fritter around here) ;)
ReplyDeletePoor little road-kill love the poem though
ReplyDeleteI suppose the calls of vultures will be added to the mix before long.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
I particularly like the omniscience here. Awesome piece, excellent last line.
