JOSIE'S POEMS
O N O M A T O P O E I A
(Sounds within words)
By Josie Whitehead
TICK TOCK
IT'S ONOMATOPOEIA, MY DEAR
By Josie Whitehead
Crackle, crackle; clink clank clunk,
Are onomatopoeia –
A word well known by those who write
But not a word to fear.
​
Then tick-tock, tick tock, clang clang clang -
Is that a clock I hear?
And rumble, rustle, pop and purr -
They're onomatopoeia.
​
Bubbling, burbling, splishing, splash
Tells us that water's near
And pitter patter, pitter patter -
They're onomatopoeia.
​
Knock knock, honk honk and quack quack quack
You'll understand, my dear,
They're words, which closely copy sounds:
They're onomatopoeia.
