- Example: "Running Water"
water plops into pond
splish-splash downhill
warbling magpies in tree
trilling, melodic thrill
whoosh, passing breeze
flags flutter and flap
frog croaks, bird whistles
babbling bubbles from tap - Which words in this poem sound like what they describe? Circle/underline them!
- Example: "The Rusty Spigot" by Eve Merriam
- Example: "Running Water"
- Alliteration: using the same sound at the beginning of words
Ex. the sweet sparrow sang a song- Alliteration is not necessary for onomatopoeia poems, but it adds to the sound experience!
