An Onomatopeia Song

Avon calls. DING DONG! Small bells TING-A-LING-A-LING. Chinese gong goes BONG. School’s out. One last RING One more angle: sleigh bells JINGLE JANGLE. ONOMATOPEIA, Baby. ONOMATOPEIA. Bird-speak – CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP. Most birds CHIRP: a few CUCKOO. Baby chickens PEEP. Night owls COO or question HOO! Many here I lack. Ducks, for instance, QUACK. ONOMATOPEIA, Baby. ONOMATOPEIA. Autumn walk – I CRUNCH. leaves beneath me, but I’ll SPLATTER if there’s rain! I MUNCH peanuts as I walk. PITTER-PATTER! Home I run. BOO-HOO! Now I sneeze ACHOO! ONOMATOPEIA, Baby. ONOMATOPEIA. July 20, 2022 For the Onomatopoeia Poetry Contest of Emile Pinet

A clever and cute entry Andrea. I can tell you put thought into your choices. I am sure this will be on his winning list. I would like to try one but I’m not sure if I have time. I was out of commission so long that I have a lot of catching up to do at home of cleaning paying bills etc. kudos on your entry. Blessings xxoo

It's kind of scattered. I just really did not know exactly how to put it all together. Maybe I should have stuck only with birds.

All of three stanzas are great. The one that is super - If I may venture - is STANZA 2. Maybe ... My love for animals & Nature pushed me, LOL

Very cute write and i'm sure will do very well in the contest Andrea. your poem brings Macbeth and a turkey to mind. Maybe witches put a turkey in the soup, TOIL AND TROUBLE, whilst the last sounds from the turkey are GOBBLE, GOBBLE GOBBLE Hugs and blessings. Jennifer.
