No Escape

Splash, rumble, plink, whoosh,
Plop, mumble, bang, sploosh. 
Clang, jiggle, roar, ding,
Thrust, giggle, vroom, fling.
The onomata runs around 
attempting to be freer, 
but he cannot escape the sound 
of his pursuing poeia.

Love this, Deb! Reminds me of
E. E. Cummings.

Thanks, Carla. My grandkids love silly poems, and I think I’ve been influenced by Jack Prelutsky, Shel Silverstein, etc!
