What can you hear?

Shut your eyes: What can you hear? …
“Buzz! buzz! buzz!”–
a bee is buzzing near …
“Caw! caw!” – black crows fly
high above up in the sky. …
a faint “Miaow!” –
the next-door cat is nearby now …
What’s that “Whoosh!” ?
the wind is shaking
the branches in the trees
– like the “shoosh”
or our shower at home! …
“Screech!” – Daddy’s home!
– that’s the sound his bike makes –
squeaky brakes!
[IP: incorporate five (or more!) different sounds in whatever you write.]

You've caught all the garden
You've caught all the garden and neighbourhood sounds perfectly Rhiannon. I just wish the blossom tree in our garden would last longer, it's so soothing to hear the sound of buzzing as bees flit from flower to flower, sounding like a piece of music...but perhaps that's just my imagination working overtime. Most of the petals have now fallen like flakes of snow and cover the grass...such a shame.
Great I P and enjoyed reading.
Jenny.
