Brainstorming words: bunk, junk, dunk, funk, gunk, hunk, monk, punk, clunk, sunk, stunk, skunk,
More words from http://www.morewords.com/ends-with/unk/: chipmunk, spelunk, kerplunk, shrunk, trunk, debunk
Did you see the skunk
Chasing the chipmunk?
We must clean the junk
Out of the old trunk.
The ghost hunters are in a funk
Their hauntings have been debunk(ed).
Would you like to spelunk
In a cave full of gunk?
The cave stunk
Because of the skunk.
Into the lake, the stone went kerplunk
Down to the bottom, it quickly sunk.

More words from http://www.morewords.com/ends-with/ump/: grump,

But he can not jump.
He can really jump
He's over his slump.

One more day to rhyme
Until next year's poem time.

April Poetry Challenge #28 - ug
The first thing that comes to my mind is…
I'm as snug
as a bug
In a rug.
That would be really much quicker than normal. I will try some more but still might like that one the best.
Word Brainstorming: bug, rug, snug, hug, pug, dug, jug, mug, tug, chug, thug
There is a ladybug
In my coffee mug!
More words from http://www.morewords.com/ends-with/ug/: litterbug, spark plug, shutterbug, shrug, fireplug
Give the Earth a hug
Don't be a litterbug!
The mower needs a spark plug
It will not chug - only shrug.
Pour some tea in my mug
From the great big brown jug.
The little black pug
Gave the rug a tug.
The little dog dug
a hole in the rug.
Give that pug
A big hug.

Eek! This is a hard one.

Early she awoke
To let out the dog - not housebroke!

April Poetry Challenge #24 - ock
I just like to say this sound! It makes me think of the nursery rhyme:
Hickory, dickory dock
The mouse ran up the clock!
Brainstorming Words: clock, dock, wok/walk, chalk, glock, rock, stock, sock, lock, mock, hock, jock, knock, tock/talk, flock, block,
Add the chicken stock
To the heated wok.
Many birds is a flock
Many steps is a walk.
The tick and the tock
Are the talk of a clock.
Is it soft like a sock
Or hard like a rock?
I almost didn't check for multi syllable words today but look at these gems from http://www.morewords.com/ends-with/ock/: hollyhock, peacock, shamrock, sherlock
The beautiful peacock
Admired the hollyhock.
We need a sherlock
To find the missing sock!
