Screeching Vinyl

   Vinyl screeches

     untrimmed nails scratch

   at the spinning record

          screech�"

                 screech�"

                      SCREECH�"

       is all I can ever hear

           who would've predicted 

                                my deafened ears

              would accustom

                 to the glorious sound?

The onomatopeic devices used in this poem have certainly made an impact. Well it surely did on me and left me shuddering to the disturbing yet unique sound of the screeching vinyl! Wonderful!

I love records. They're cooler than cds.

I've heard that city noises do the same to small town people. They can't stand them at first but soon don't even notice the cars, sirens, etc.

Different from you, short... but still good. :)

Thanks.

Interesting, very different. Hard to make sounds with words! Thanks for sharing.

Well said. You made the sound come to life. (Mine is the chewing of ice. Can't stand it.)
Good write, sir.
