Jennifer Proxenos November 10, 2020 at 8:37 AM A lot of fun a lot of creativity, a clever write - a Greek word - all about the formation of a word from sound associated with what is named (e.g bark-dog, hiss - snake, roar - lion). Good luck Jan, hugs and blessings Jennifer. Jan Allison November 11, 2020 at 4:22 AM Thanks jennifer:-)Hugs Jan xx

Carolyn Devonshire November 9, 2020 at 1:02 PM A delightful acrostic, Jan! Onomatopoeia can add humor to poetry as well as prose. There was a James Joyce novel that began with "Moo, cow, moo."
