L Milton Hankins Poet List

Onomatopoeia

Our hen dropped an egg – plop!     
Orange balloon stuck - pop!    
Odd wee bird sang - cuckoo!    
Obese farmer screamed - shoo!    
Old satin skirt went - swish!    
Once ripe grape trampled – squish!    
One sound-word this – oh, pish!

Kim Rodrigues April 3, 2021 at 10:02 AM Love this! And the ending perfect! L Milton Hankins April 3, 2021 at 12:14 PM Thanks, Kim. I wrote it for the contest, then decided I could do better with "Oafs." These poems are like word games.

Robert Pettit April 3, 2021 at 8:49 AM Enjoyable short poem about naturally sounding words. I invented a nickname for some girl I knew in college. "Boomboom" was the sound she made when she walked. L Milton Hankins April 3, 2021 at 9:01 AM Oh, yeah, I've known a few of them in my time. Thanks for the read, Robert.
