IN A HOSPITAL, a poem by Jacinta Ramayah, Malaysia Other Life Poems Other Onomatopoeia Poems DUAL CATEGORY THIS POET COUNTRIES Categories: Life Poems & Onomatopoeia Poetry Viewed 6729 times Author: Jacinta Ramayah, Malaysia Share Poem IN A HOSPITAL Enter a hospital and a cacophony of sounds assail, From a nurse’s quick ‘sh’ to a newborn baby’s wail. Brr - is when a new mum lies cold in the operating room and also of a dentist’s drill, Pit-a-pat of the heart when a doctor takes your pulse and the rain on the window sill, Tick-tock is heard from the clock in the hall and the strident stiletto heels of a visitor, Whee - the sound of the ambulance siren and a young girl when discharged by her doctor, Aah - say the proud grandparents at babe’s wide yawn and you at the prick of the needle, Aargh - dad jerks in revulsion as he changes dirty diapers and so do I at the bill from the hospital, wheeze - is the chain-smoker’s regret, an asthmatic’s breath and an overloaded hydraulic machine, Hmm, the doctor looks distracted at a patient’s chart, and hmm, a relieved sigh, as I leave with a grin.

Then I read the poems sent in by some members and told myself, "It won't hurt trying." So do try one yourself.
