I Am Anaya Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named, and we can almost hear those sounds as we read. Here are some words that are used as examples of onomatopoeia: slam, splash, bam, babble, warble, gurgle, mumble, and belch.  For this contest, you may write “anything you want from 14 to 30 lines,” as long as it contains at least 10 onomatopoeia words... Please "BOLD" or underline them.

Miss Sparks Betta Wiggles

Maria hums to the tune of “Taps” as she scoops out the betta
One red, one blue, Wiggles got ick, now it’s just Padma blue
Doorbell rings, ding dong, Maria rushes to answer, Ahh, Greek feta
The delivery guy left as the maid pounded on the screen, birds flew

This is cheddar, Miss Sparks will be upset, hmmm. It’s okay!
Swooshing sounds from the toilet bowl, as Maria flushes 
Tosses the salad, grabs her clanking keys, and drives away
Down the hill, exhales haa, then inhales huh, blood rushes

Nick The Greek’s, an order of the Greek feta salad, to go please
Exits Nicks, enters Finney’s Fish Store.  I’ll take that one, that fish
As she points to the red betta splashing, wiggling, stops, in a freeze
Dear Maria, I’m home, bring my salad and a glass of iced tea swish

So, tell me, how was your day, clops off her shoes by her chair
Leaning, back crackling, with Wiggles her red betta nearby
Miss Sparks waits for her maid, then notices Padma’s stare
Maria, why is Padma staring at Wiggles with a glint in her eye?

Victor Buhagiar July 24, 2022 at 1:31 AM Good idea to introduce the fighting betta. Don't put them together. It will be a riot. I Am Anaya July 25, 2022 at 6:37 PM I had the pleasure of owning bettas, when stationed in Whidbey Island! They were in their separate bowls. Unfortunately, ick did strike and I found my beautiful fish floating upside down.
