To enter this contest and win a signed copy of one of my books, you need to submit a poem... on any theme using any form... But it must have at least ten “Onomatopoeia” words.
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.
An example of this style of poetry can be found at:
