In the night
I heard a sound in the night

A different sound
I heard a    different    sound
in the night
I heard a sound
in the night that did not sound just right
I heard a sound in the night that did not sound just right
it was    different
a sound in the night that did not sound just right
it was different
it    was    different
dif---fe---rent

The different sound
I heard
heard the sound in the night
in the night
the different sound I heard in the night that did not sound just right
the different sound
I    HEARD  in the night that did not   sound  just right
was my dog snoring
snoor---ri---inggggg
and I listened

This is a completely new way of writing, but I like Local Rebel's writing this way so much, (though his is much, much better, of course) that I wanted to try. This is the second one I've tried this way.
It's fun.

Thank you, Linda and Gemma.
As I said, this is only the second one I've tried like this, but Local Rebel's poems that he writes this way were so interesting, I wanted to try them with a simple theme.

I'm glad that ya'll liked my little experiment.

Hugs to you both

you've certainly given it a new twist --- a different sound even

if you want to get more complex with it try to imagine a southern evangelical preacher as you write it -- it will write itself then...

Thank you, Sue. LOL
I do like this style. HeeHee!!
Glad that you did, too.

Local Reb, I think I can do that. LOL
I certainly have heard a lot of them in
my life time. But, come to think of it,
the devil might really come out of me
if I write about that!!
