A series of harsh, discordant sounds
gloriously inharmonious in their delivery.
I enjoy the internal series of 'c' sounds,
nice and harsh like 'ark'
or for example: the clickety clack
(of a cricket bat) and the crickle crackle
of firework rattle.
Yes Cacophany,
can be this series of 'c' sounds
without which clip clop
could flip flop,
And callous would not sound so
satisfyingly round
for it's synonym.
Cacophany,
discordant and dissonant,
the black sheep with unruly bleat
and generally describing the din
of a hundred children in hymn -
but without which,
their curly wurly's and treasured
twirling would not look and sound
so round, like their namesake.
Oh Cacophany,
your hoots, cackles and wails
entail more than straightforward harmony,
your beauty rests in unapologetic,
uproarious imperfection,
for this we love you so.
Cacophany -
what an indefatigable world
you live in.
