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