Writing Exercise: Imagery

We hear hurrying footsteps about
Breaking the early morning silence
Suddenly, a loud deafening shout
Jolts the sleepy footfalls in the school.

The we see the big commander
Trodding along the hallway,
Then each foot rushes
Down the open space.

After an ear-splitting CRRRIIIING!
The shuffling footsteps line up
Before a red, blue, white, and yellow cloth
Rising from a rope which the boys pull.

The melody they sing then turns to humming
Of gossips and updates on this and that;
Then the big, loud, exasperated voice comes again
To spread the news of the day.

And the footsteps go back to their own room
Following a straight path
Each one of them hurries to accomplish
What has not been done last night.
