Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

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.

Connie Marcum Wong July 24, 2022 at 7:33 PM 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 Andrea Dietrich July 25, 2022 at 7:35 AM 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.

Anil Deo July 24, 2022 at 10:50 AM 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 Andrea Dietrich July 25, 2022 at 7:58 AM yes, maybe I should have put all my focus on birds!!

Jennifer Proxenos July 24, 2022 at 5:32 AM 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.
