The Crack of a Whip
The crack of a whip
a fateful sound
the creak of the desk
it makes my ears pound
the slow raspy breath of it's victim
it chills me to the bone
the drip of blood on the the floor
it makes my stomach turn
the shred of broken skin
it tears a scream from my throat
the deep cackle of the overseer
it breaks my heart
the thud of thunder
shakes me hard
the sobs of dear friends crying
it brings me harm
the crack of a whip
what a horrid sound

because it shows how negatively you feel about the sounds, and the line 'it brings me harm' shows how strongly people feel abouttheir freinds.
it might jst be me, i get quite emotional. it's still an amazing piece.

Left? Cacophony. Right? Cacophony. No matter where I look in this poem, all I see are very gruff, rough words that remind me of sand paper and snapping twigs. If you didn't get an A on your project, your teacher needs to go teach PE.
