Welcome to the Weekend Mini Challenge at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads with Kim from writinginnorthnorfolk.
Choose an instrument, give it a characteristic adjective or a personality, and write a poem about it, in any form of your choice. It doesn’t have to be about the instrument or music. But it must include a phrase like ‘sarcastic percussion’. You can take it wherever you want – I can’t wait to see what you make of it!
It was her grating
cackle that plucked
his attention.
Her usual lilting cadence
had been replaced with
the almost-shriek of
a panicked balalaika.
Eye contact was impossible
they darted about like
the frenzied silver ball
in an old arcade game.
He stopped listening
and merely watched her lips
spew a string of lies.
