Onomatopoeia Poems
Onomatopoeia is when a word imitates the sound is represents. Boat Swoosh, swish paddling down a creek splish, splash, whump a fish jumps on me Watery Mess Drip, drip, drip The faucet had a leak slop, drop, plop It fell in a spot slippery, sliding, slip Puddle underneath the sink Time to clean it up, What do you think?
MARCHING BAND boom! boom! bang the drum ta-diddy-ta! here they come pah! pah! trombone grand bright silver sound in marching band ting! ting! triangle ring sharp and high sound in sky wrreee! wrree! whistle blow majorette leads the row wah! wah! bagpipes moan wheel around and head for home
The Act Flick, the lights go on, Clap! Shout! The show must go on Screech, bump, the microphone's gone! Click, clack, goes the shoes Swoosh, creak, the curtains open Ding, dong, the bells ring Ting, Tang, the triangles go, "And they lived happily ever after." Laughter, cheering, "encore" the show is done. The Storm Boom, snap, crackle The thunder starts Bang, bump, boom, It's all fine Thud, thud, thud, the rain begins to fall harder Splash, sploosh, splash Strong men try to save the town. Skeletons The sharp were eaten, humming melodies turned bone. Unexpected home cut soft. Secrets shelled timidly, like rippling leaves. Water exiling slipping stone.
