  1. Gong! Those things you hit that make a big crashing cymbal noise. Pretty awesome stuff. I remember there was a gong in the jazz room in high school. At least I think there was.

  2. Gong. Crash. Bang. The sound of catastrophe and yet love ringing ever loudly. PLAY THOSE GONGS. Sing terror. Sing happiness. Hear peace. The end and the high point.

  3. When the gong rings, I run for supper; to the big round table with deep notches. Maybe it’ll be a hamburger, freshly cooked by Aunt Sue. Or maybe it’ll be a bowl of rice, sticky and salty. The possibilities are endless; my mouth waters.

  4. When the gong went off I dropped the pick axe. It was done. I stared at the blood and gore dripping from my hands, wiped them on my jeans and went to claim my prize.

  5. The gong is one thing I know that can make time go slower. The echo of its noises reaches every particle of being, before evaporating into a building suspense–shaking hearts and eyes that run back and forth as if to push the clock forward.

  6. My first memory with a gong is from my elementary school music room. There was a gong on top of the piano. It felt sacred and no one wanted to touch it because it gave off such a loud noise, but everyone wanted to make the noise because it was so other-worldly.

  7. I never knew what love was until I met you, now I realise it is the only thing that matters in this world. If I could leave one thing behind it would be that people could feel my love.

  8. “Ring the gong,” he said.
    “I don’t want to,” replied the little girl. “Mrs. McGowan said not to touch it.”
    “She’s not in here, is she?”
    “Well she’ll hear it!”

  13. I just looked this up. Gong. An Asian instrument you hit with a mallet. Gong. If it’s not important, if i don’t use it everyday, then why do I feel so ashamed for not remembering? Gong. Gone from my memory.

  15. The loud resounding sound of the bell echoed in the halls of the Manor. The children perked up at the sound and scurried to the front of the house to see what the surprise was.

  16. when i was younger i used to love to watch mtv. oh my goodness I watched it so much. I also loved hanson. So, when hanson, went on mtv for this show, say what karaoke, i HAD to watch it. So i tuned in, and they would judge people’s karaoke performances. If you were bad, you got “gonged.”

  21. I think of a giant bell which reminds me of bells in japan. And when I think of Japan I think of their animes and their ideas of romance. Which does excite the average American in my opinion. Ohhh if only such things existed as romance xD Which in HIghschool it really doesn’t. What can I say, guys are jerks.

    Funny word.

  24. The gong sounded, harsh and loud in the peaceful quiet of the monastery, but no one reacted as though it were frightening or alarming – it was expected. Subject 16 tensed, but pulled back, allowing the one whose eyes he was seeing through to move on his own without influence. There would be a time for him to get involved, but now wasn’t it.

  25. I heard the gong pulsing from across the courtyard. I turned, and you were there, the paddle in your hand. Tears wet your cheeks, and your mouth hung open, silent. The sound reverberated through my body, and I felt you touch me.

  27. The crash simply filled the room, filling everyone’s ears, like a hot sauce burn in a mouth, or honey pouring through a funnel. It was too loud, but that was okay. It was full, and that is the sort of sound everyone loves to hear. full.

    Allison.

  30. He lifts the mallet and swishes his arms to aim at the golden gong. It makes a loud noise that can wake up people, yet he stands there, eyes sullen, heart heavy, body tired.

  31. I hit my bong long and strong and sing like a gong, call me killaa King Kong!

  32. the chinese use gongs in order to actually i have no idea. maybe it is to signify dinner, but i have a feeling it actually has more to do with resperct.

  33. I hear a gong sound early in the morning. It signals the dawn of a new day, the awakening of a new opportunity. I slowly rise out of bed, get dressed, prepare for what’s to come.

  34. The band hall. A place of many mysteries. There sits the strange gong. It is only used in a few songs. Is often hit by a random tennis ball or curious jock passing through.

  36. the china leaves sway in the distance and you still fade
    you walk away, for you can’t stand the heat and you’re too late
    in telling me to lose my individuality
    so you freeze on mind frames of taking freedoms that belong to no one
    and time moves on
    leaving me ever changing
    ever growing
    yet the same in every way
    i am still she who is loved by your soul
    no matter the gems that encase my body
    i AM your soul
    accept me

  39. The gong rang in his ears, a rich, tribal sound that made his heart race. Soon – it would all unfold very, very soon. And he would have his sweet revenge.
