The Fight's Symphony Poem by Maya Reid

Roar – goes the crowd
“Kill him! ” – they shout
Pump – goes the two boys’ adrenaline
Thump, thump – go their hearts
Whoosh – they hear it in their ears
Flap – away fly their consciences
Whip – the crowd is now their master
Wham – a punch is landed
Splash – the blood puddles on the floor
Bam! Bam! Bam! – he’s hit again and again
Thunk – his body hits the floor
Click – the lights all go of
Silence – in the dark, it’s over.
