I quite like the images you have projected with this poem. You can almost hear the bombs and guns, but this is the way it's supposed to be!
It almost had a rhythmic, lyrical quality to it, except for the last line, second verse. Well done, good luck. Blessings, Roy.

Hello. This is a grating piece, as it should be! Well done. I could hear the artillary, the odd left over echo of bullets and guns.
May you be well.

So deserving of this win, my friend. Keep sounding the alarm. Sadly we will hear the cacophony of war until peace enters the heart of all peoples.

Yes, the sounds of war are clearly seen in this poem. Great mental picture of war with the words you used. Your poem reads, and flows well. Nice job.

You've used Onomatopoeia very effectively in giving mood to this well crafted poem about war. A cacophony it surely is! Good luck in the contest!

Comment from MarjorieAnne
War noises would definitely be discordant. You've picked a fitting topic and crafted these stanzas to appeal with rhyme and repetition. The woooo sound doesn't sound shrill or strident enough for sirens. Maybe something like bleeeee or rreeeeaaaa? For bombs, pounding would be stronger than thundering. The word "it's" in the ack-ack line should not have an apostrophe. I like the idea of the sound of silence, but it's a popular song title and also doesn't add to the cacophony. The guns don't actually pepper the sky. How about "booms" or "shots"?

Comment from adewpearl
solid use of abcb rhyming
fires it's wares - drop the apostrophe
good alliteration in whoosh and whine
and in chaos/creates
excellent focus on sounds in this cacophony poem and strong social commentary on the destructive nature of war
