Onomatopoeia
The wind whispers, a soft 'hush-hush' through the trees,
A gentle 'whoosh' as leaves begin to fall.
The rain starts drumming, a steady 'pitter-patter,'
On the windowpane, a soothing, endless call.
A 'pop' of the fire in the hearth,
The kettle whistles, a loud and urgent 'hoot!'
The dog snores softly, a deep and rumbling 'snort,'
As twilight settles, a peaceful, quiet loot.
A 'screech' of tires, a sudden, jarring 'brake,'
The city hums, a constant, buzzing drone.
A 'clatter' of footsteps, a hurrying 'thump,'
The day's last moments quickly fade and groan.
And in the silence, deep within the night,
A 'chirp,' a 'tweet,' a distant, lonely sound.
The world asleep, the stars begin to shine,
In the darkness, peace and quiet can be found.
