A couple weeks ago, my English teacher gave us an assignment to write a paragraph using at least ten onomatopoeic words. We only had a few minutes, but I thought mine turned out pretty good. So here it is.

Beep, beep!

Serena woke up at the sound of her alarm clock. Normally she would sleep in, but she had a date with Darien today! Thump, thump, her heart went. She was really excited! They would meet up at the arcade, and Serena would slurp her milkshake, while Darien slowly sipped his coffee. Then they would head out to the park, where the birds would chirp loudly. She thought about how much she loved him, the swish of his cape as tuxedo mask. The zip of his magical roses, flying through the air to save her, and the angry hiss of the monsters as they hit.

She looked at the clock again, and she realized that if she didn't run, she would be late. The swoosh of her running out of her room faded quickly, and the only sound left was the tick, tock of her clock.
