Onomatopoeia

"Life is too fleet for onomatopoeia" Mervyn Peake Crash boom bang, I gulp at the din A buzz then became a chatter Gone cuckoo at ding dong I'm in Crash boom bang Ring, zing, jingle what's the matter Thump, bump, today is not a win Creak clang thud oh what a clatter Now I am jangling, in a spin Listen now, ahh pitter patter Beep zoom, artistic ending fin Crash boom bang

Hope you found the lid to that lost pot in the jumble of metallic memories stored in that cluttered cupboard.

Nope, but they are all back in the cupboard precariously stacked just to add excitement should the door be once again opened :)

Hey - you're over using mind blowing now! Haha! It was a bit of a dig at poetry this one x

Thanks H, I was being slightly carefree using roundel form for a nonsense poem ;)

Batman and Robin have a good ding dong ~ as Dilly Dally creaks along! Excellent Onomatopoeia, cheers David

I considered weaving Bat Man into the quote but couldn't think of anything witty - thanks for your comment, there's points for form use and quotes so zip zapped this one out - ka-ching! (Maybe, maybe not)
