"onomatopoeia" poems
Why do people insist in the use of figurative language I am not as blue as the sky (simile) This sadness is not swallowing me whole (hyperbole) My tears are not carving new paths down the skin covering my cheeks (imagery) The frown I wear is not eating the happiness off my face (personification) This feeling is not a storm that won’t subside (metaphor) I am not softly shaking so someone stops to shush my sobs (alliteration) You can’t hear the smashing of tears on the table (onomatopoeia) There is no way to make this pain sound beautiful I am sad, plain and simple. Deal with it.

Figurative Sadness
At the Zoo Patriots and faux exhibit and binge on synonyms of liberty printed on beer and underwear Advertising what should be unspoken and inspired to pervert and romanticize Preludes to the parades and finale above us all Weeks of saturated irony Cuckoo bird irony and BBQ As they reform Phoenix, rebirth of distractions and thievery Predators in ally ways pursing America's diamonds and legs Then gunpowder Gunpowder of colors and cuckoos Layers of streets in gunpowder Towns built of gunpowder Sky is gunpowder We are born addicted to led and gunpowder Gunpowder ****** in the air Success, display and diversion and more gunpowder to ingest. The Grand Finale The Volta of the evening The hammer of the judge *** appeal of death and nature flexing it's muscles-   show us some skin! Covering your ears Eyes fastened- Ready to burrow back to mothers womb Binged and free Chinese celebration hijacked Red, White and Blue And a moment of silence   Orchestrated onomatopoeia in heaven Chorus of arousal on Earth Band marching war machines in hell The showdown of 241 years! This freedom we are all grateful to only talk about Only free to battle shackling intoxication Men and women tugging extra weighted offspring Sulking for indoors and portable addiction   Chanting three letter obedience God being counted by his blessings Fear and Statism in every breathe for salvation from our stick swatted enemies Checkpoints that serve and protect asking for a toll; liberty synonyms. Arresting the too free At the Zoo, The cuckoos regaining reality. The phoenix red eye and held under oath To the next day where we are back To hate each others freedom, again.

Hi, below I copy a humorous hiabun, which I shared as an exercise to mentor enquiring and inspired poets to learn, so they might adopt and try different techniques and then give critique together with awesome comments... Yes, I used the words *** ****** and **** for context the rest was left to an individual imagination as in good poetry! It included reflective commentary encompasses innocent classification terminology used in the critique, reading, examining, appreciating, understanding and writing of poetry for example: POETIC DEVICES (enjambement, duality, keriji, images, collocation, semantic, oxymoron, repetition, listing etc.), STORY (personification, characterisation, subject, context, voice etc.), IMAGERY (synaesthesia), STRUCTURE ( lineation, breaks, syntactic etc.), SOUNDS (syllables, rhyme, alliteration, pace, musicality, phrasing, beat, assonance, onomatopoeia, mouthed rhythms, patterned) and WORDS (preposition, determiner, verbs, adverbs, lexical, nouns, adjectives) used by poets, critics and academics... And here it is : **** tongue-in-cheek haibun - a reflective commentary on writing a popular tanka Eye lashes flicker a shared urgent interest parting - dancing smile My first inspiration was *** passionate life squeezing screaming *** the thumping wall musicality of *** exhaustingly inventive sweaty and wet. I wanted to make it a senryu but for duality the female characterisation demanded two more lines each extending to seven syllables.   Arousing images captured her moaning splashing loneliness in unusual collocation. I was first excited by the placement of a hovering extended enjambement to give life to my final line, whilst also considering the satisfaction in using noisy mouthed rhythms.   I believe I easily hid the wet aroused context with a watery semantic field, that suggested she would choke and drown. So in my last line I had ‘pleasures’ as a cutting keriji to make clear the dominating ****** context, having previously used a preposition and determiner to maintain duality! Exhausted shivers in windowed naked currents unfolding sinking then surfing vital wavelets drowning screams - pleasures wet bite **

lush. one of those words, whose sounds conjures but does not onomatopoeia like chirp or oink. the irony is rich for me, in the sunroom, with others, no one speaking and it is a harmonious sound, the quietude, indoors, outdoors, is a good thick, rich and plush, invisible & unbearable, but like soft, spreadable butter, …the quietude is the hush and hug of lush…

Pithy #7: lush
Oh yes I fully understand The sounds of this world are good and bad Good and bad Good and bad Nothing like the sound of a good rhyme A chime A dime The sound of a kiss THE LOUDER THE BETTER I ALWAYS SAY The sound of a forest Sleepily The branches scrape and scratch Ratta tat tatting on the window I love to hear the ones I love Say I love you too But bad sounds are just as bad A breaking bottle of good ***** A child crying in a store A branch Ratta tat tatting on my window at night A car crash A crying girl Or your parents fighting CRACK BANG SLASH KURRANG BOOM RING A DING DING So I guess to put it all into a rhyming couplet If a sound is bad I hates it If it’s good I loves it

Onomatopoeia Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya
Wicked nether-land. Nether world, white, askance. Capitulating mangroves, verdant trees spliced with hyperbole, onomatopoeia, and manilla envelopes; her world is stuffed with secrets, she listens to gorillas cracking mussels a kilometer away, near a rill. Never she thought. Nothing that could provide....providence. Mangled heliographs sprayed all over the everywhereworld. "Don't be S.A.F.E.," she whispered. A bouquet of gorse, cistus, and pimpernels squished in her small fingers. She climbed her way through the pedimented stairway, then collapsing on the porch. Legs spent, and spread out upon the desiccate grayed four by four planks of the portico. And as time elapses, the shuttering shake of the hemlock, which writhes through her skinny nimble dactyls, upwards straining the heart as its toxic bends appendages- crisp cerise lumens bend on the Titanium White walls, where only shadows bend time. The hour, still nine. Every adornment, furnished with red and its hues. Not purple, periwinkle, or any masked enhancement. These are the symbols that reticulate splines, that curve temperatures, perverse hemispheres and debunk worlds. Upped antes, verbs that terns flirt worth, birth words. Ooh. Aah. Camera. The forest wraps her in its verdant pasture, where at last the moribund tamarisks disperse. While at the plateau she is quiet and longing. Arms astride, dangling. Vaunt with highs and bliss- a kiss of withstanding pleasure serves her the cure for a lifetime of whining. This, yesterday where her body rattled through crooked vines. Square ships toasting her vocal melancholy in the sweet-waters of Time. So that all of her ripened limbs could grow, no more sheepishly than the magic she knew as a child. Stress free. First among the Earth-words, verbed-up and made jealous by pronouns that encompassed her joy-brimming hide. Closing down her voice and hugging her from behind.

What is the onomatopoeia of a sigh?
A Woman of Many Words I am a Woman of Many Words I am drawn to all those places That words congregate: Libraries and bookstores Road signs and billboards Ticket stubs and subtitles Nametags and license plates Each one a journey driving inside me I am a Woman of Many Words I love the way the shapes feel in my mouth The skittle taste of syllables I am drawn to especially long words With their phonetic entities stretching out like tentacles to reach new corners of pronunciation Words like Bibliophile and flippant-irreverence Evanescent and Insouciance Mellifluous and Effervescent Mondegreen and Labyrinthine Words like Onomatopoeia and Tintinnabulation I appreciate their weight on my tongue The way my hands appreciate the thickness that is a fat book I am a Woman of Many Words I am attracted to their multitude The space their figures take up on a page The calligraphic punches Typed up by keys The carefully constructed Brush strokes Spouting What is sure to be, nonsense But I do enjoy the sound of nonsense in the morning I am a Woman of Many Words I cling to the lettered skyscrapers wherever I can find them Because the familiar scent of scribbles across parchment is comfort food for me I find them On the backs of cereal boxes And in Popsicle riddles In fortune cookies And alphabet soup From magnets on my fridge To junk food logos And I hold on to them for dear life For fear that silence should find me And leave me empty For fear it will take away the music of maracas Made by words Dancing the salsa inside me I am a Woman of Many Words because Words Answer my Questions, Soothe my fears, and Humor my Whims They are not always Right But they are always Constant They are not always Honest, in fact, Mostly They Lie But ever so often They tell such a Beautiful Lie That you wish it were true They sing from the rocks offering Escape from Terrifying, Suffocating, Mind numbing Silence that echoes off my skeleton I am afraid that silence will hollow out my insides and leave me abandoned with nothing between my Bow and Stern my Forecastle all torn up I am afraid of the skeleton inside me So I am a Woman of Many of Words For fear of silence And contempt for truth Because my words are sirens And my shipwreck is home here

I love words for their meanings their woven tapestries but also for their taste. Tell me, when was the last time you tasted a word as sweet as strawberry shortcake or bitter as dark hot coffee? try it. remember diction, now. *loquacious refrigerator nefarious malevolent tinkerbell* feel the 'q' like a potato chip (crunch) the 'f' like a wind (swooping through) the 'b' like a kiss (so quiet) Gives new meaning to the age-old rhyme: Some books should be tasted, others devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.

Onomatopoeia
we did what we could that night and a supernal being is ashamed. this is the drift of thought in the vast ocean of gilded gold frothing at the edge of rotund: giving back a silenced enigma, spewing the answer in an exhaust of white rancid smoke dharma burns plastered to cigarette. burning and burning, afloat are the high-pouncing embers looking for fleeting shades and dagger-ambulations of a shadow's swagger in tectonic soiree. we did what we could that night. like a flash of lightning at the back of hoarded hills, or say, something brutal and brash with modern sensibilities we never jell — we come not with softness or life peering out of our eyes like little girls serenaded by mad men in the eve of forlorn nights. we did what we could and some god cringes, winces away like the erratic dance of candleflame. the leviathan black spreads its parasol and we are no strangers. when our veraciousness starts to pierce the veil, the populace should start to worry of their trapped conditions. we came here for something: be it flesh, be it wisdom, be it plain inebriations — we will never flinch at the squalor of tomorrow's sobering. keep in mind, kaibigan.     it's all levitation and transcendence. the darkness wept as the car groans near the end of its immaterial life. i flick the last cigarette into the grey-faced pavement. all oceans drowned, all shadows burgeoned, all fires emerged plump, this silent radio rivers through the wave of this ephemerality, the onomatopoeia of strangeness, the   thud       of the senseless head of metal      on the body the   clackety-clack        of hours thereafter! ayeayeaye! the streets sing no mild   appendage. the solstice is lost     in the length and precision of all things. bringing ourselves to the brink of absence,     our pallid selves set ablaze, emblazoning the quick life of matchflame or rumble of         thunder — the steady phoenix of        that night! this is learning   to breathe again, o, what currents purloined in vicious swarth as we keep      this river flowing into our throats,   jamming our souls to compelling music.    remember kaibigan, it's all levitation and transcendence.

Onomatopoeia
She is silver-nitrate and coal. An Egon Schiele painting stretched on dream and sullen sparking glances tipped in gold. It is starlight, burnt through a velvet field that chains me here. It is honey and hot wine that haunts my sleep, by the onomatopoeia of obsession. With a lunar caustic kiss she hexed me. Woven in her six-sided circle those rubies in the hollow of her neck and fingers that shimmer like ice. The Sphinx of Eros. That heathen curl. Smoke to hide the ivory! Spoke to lock the memory! Caught in click clack shutters by the silver foaming pond. Froth from the chambers of ebony rough hewn hearts. O starlight! That raptures me hungry for bloodsoaked lips red as fury! And I sang; O lord & commoner, I sang! To the weepings of a sombre, sudden, stinging violin, in empty vinyl crackle from music soaked in paint, with a voice like burning velvet.

"I always wanted to wander." "To wander? To where?" "From Walla Walla to Uganda." "That's a wide world to wander!" "You wanna?" "Wanna what?" "To wander?" "To where, Uganda?" "Youbetcha!" "I don't want to onomatopoeia anymore!" "Are you refusing me?" "You're confusing me!" "Do I do that usually?" "Yes, and it's abusing me! "I didn't used to be." "But you see it's no use to me, So start talking lucidly! You're coming across abstrusely By talking so loosely. You've got a lot of 'splaining to do Lucy." "It started out grand!" "But quickly got out of hand." "But you fail to understand." "You should have planned." "Is that a reprimand?" "You're like the ampersand." "I don't understand." "It means 'and per se and'; The pronunciation became bland And three Latin words became 'ampersand'." "But, don't you need a vacation?" "What is the relation?" "It's a matter of pronunciation, And sometimes punctuation. Some words deserve elimination. Yes, and some deserve illumination. Thus my original illustration. In the interest of communication, Some things deserve enunciation." "I will accept that explanation." "But, I'm still hugely fond of The two of us going to Uganda; As we internationally wander I'm sure it will make you fonder The more the two of us wander." "But I really don't wanna!" "Don't wanna what?" "Go to Uganda!" "That's what you don't wanna?" "You betcha!" "It's okay. They probably won't letcha."

Onomatopoeia
I could not produce a perfect sentence, so instead I killed my family. Intricate webs woven, and little seeds planted. Words that will not touch a page let loose a vindictive voice. That's why your inner voice finds words like onomatopoeia funny; it's sharp. As you project your frustration into a headache, it passes along. You try to remember if your family history has been linked to cancer. Yet some people will say: Words Don't Hurt. But they know. Because they once had families, too.

saying **** off* seems so much more easier when you're petting cats.... they just say it for you... there he is, Quarus, the operatic singer nearing sunset, 200 variations of a mulling of meow, i end up calling him Orbison Rufus, the ginger Roy of Peckham - he basically meows lazily like Roy singing... as said / i.d. (id est): the umbras or umbrellas - counting the shadows' version of Apache's yawn: ah-woo ah-woo ah-woo nagging the reflex... gave them the yawn and gave them 1950s America... Billy the Kid talking to the king of Specs... hank marvin.... cheese grater with those teeth... dozen cows buckling with the herding in while the dog carved a feel for religion in the translation of the Vatican from coliseum into football requirements... the movies were great in the 1950s, just after the technicolour... petting cats was never such a thrill... the operatic meow, onomatopoeia from echo in a cave to knock-on-wood... 200 variations of the knock and 12 whiskey shots downed while playing poker... 12 cowboys 1 Milwaukee and 30 Turks... classic Tarantino... i said the Apache yawn... i never said giving out smoke signals... Quarus my ginger is demanded as having laughed... he's Roy Orbison with the meow, pretty much lazy... looks like a murmur when he tries singing, pretty woman, trolling down the street, Gucci, Chanel, and everything in the scrapheap of lobotomy, as is Paris necessarily mentioned: chiselled white collars... Roy knew before Elvis... the trick came with sunglasses, and the gluttonous slur of the half-opened mouthing for subsequent mouthing it off... no amount of cheese in French could ever charter the success of the cheeses added to cheeseburgers with the milkshakes, which were plainly Dutch laughing cows named Novices.... quick-melts and some said: dreadlocks of string-yellow Gouda pulled for a hippies' worth of Chinese chugging down a pint or two, for worth of gag and the slim mascot; the Chinese never taught Cannes arithmetic of the thumb through to pinky... i don't know how they taught counting with their complex ideograms, they never taught arithmetic give their encoding... they taught pure math.. they never taught the simplest of assurances... meaning so few of them became bankers.

Tap Thud Crunch Swish an endless, fruitless search for that one word the perfect onomatopoeia to express the sound of footfalls on a mountain trail But perhaps that is right it is not a sound it is a sound, a feeling, a smell, a thought indistinguishable United United by lightness Rapid sound of trainers touching earth Feeling of strength, speed Smell of sweat and crushed pine needles Thought of invincibility, thought of lightness Gone The legs don't beat they plod muscles play games, giving a taste of lightness just to show what you're missing then pain. sick and slowly building ball and chain slowing weighting Stop. But I need the lightness need it more than air more than water more than food more than food Maybe, if they had less weight to carry The legs would work again? But who am I kidding They'll never work they don't deserve the fuel the food can't control the muscles can't control the pain can't regain the lightness Need to find the lightness won't eat until I do

Lightness
i used to think poetry was alliteration, assonance, rhyme and rhythm literary devices like onomatopoeia but then i found the number of people who wrote poetry about love hurt, pain, brokenness numbness then i realised poetry was simply being touched by you being cut up and forced to live with bleeding wrists and a bleeding heart the blood left on the sheets that's what poems are made of

poetry
Love: laying bricks in a line or a least a lie with N monotony. Standing in line, at the end, until the begin NEXT! ...ing. Pretending, that was doing something. Like a verb, perturbing, unsettling. Cold air is causing nerve ending stand NEXT! ...up. Back of the neck rub Trapped like a spider in a covered tub. Seems wide till the world opens wide and there's a snub from the passing yacht club as it crashes into the hub. Now aren't you glad you got grub instead of a ticket NEXT! ...stub? Chop and bop. Hop on the bed, called Dr. Suess' pop. Lets swap places. Straighten the tie, I am a flop fop. Harvesting their crop of heads. Onomatopoeia plop NEXT

she asked him: why did you leave Edinburgh? and he didn't reply, but upon thinking out his reply to a deaf ear: because i didn't come here for you; 'lona 'lona, whisper sometimes, and i'll give you a cat's whisker. i was in venice, yes, i drank absinthe the wrong way on a beach, spent three nights in a hostel with a bunch of girls, took a hebrew girl for a taste of tourism, listened to the shofar before i entered a synagogue outlet extension reading the 613 commandments on a computer screen... venice's pavement traffic and eating pistachio gelato, nothing much, i still preferred the Gothic distancing of Edinburgh's nights where i could be with cold-hands and warm heart inviting; basically i don't like tourist basins, or tourist wombs for that matter... am i looking at something predictable? yes, i am, a billion other sperms will see the same thing and perhaps write about it to insinuate poetic ambitions - too clogged up your thinking is to redeem yourself in poetry - you're hardly dislodged for the art - get a guitar and couplet it for a star-riddled pop music hit, go on, on your way, elbow push through the queue... go on, on your way... oh wait, you need clapping to spur you on?               here's my clapping onomatopoeia: blah blah, blah blah, blah blah; yes, i was in venice, didn't really care to write much about it - i actually didn't, just now, a sobering memory, not the type of memory that gets you drunk... well it's there, a bit like the Maldives, and it drives the delusion that global warming isn't creeping about the place like Nosferatu.

Edinburgh v. Venice

it's not a memorisable lullaby, i don't want to write poetry that requires memorisation by school children; perhaps a riddle, perhaps a jigsaw, perhaps an awakening after the words dig in from their arrangement into your own usage, distinguished. these days, someone on a social strata of being absolved might require a concerned dis-involvement from nouns, and thus juggle the pronouns, over-use pronouns to remain politically accurate and sound, for to replace nouns with pronouns would bleach people, entrapped in the constant affirmative of something they once owned but were dispossessed of, they do that, they stress the usage of pronouns by a relief a diet of noun usage, so that a Pakistani dare not use the associations of the noun that might decipher his skin as cinnamon in writing, unless it be pronoun inclusive and noun exclusive, so as modern society teaches: become pronoun users with a few distinguishing nouns congregating, don't learn carboxylic, don't learn onomatopoeia... keep up with the bleak egoism that states: not so much self-interest, but over-pronoun-use and a lack of nouns, or if used, reduced to quizzes of crosswords with antonyms and synonyms pronounced; he who confesses to censoring noun usage will control the pronoun category by usurping noun usage freely with a censored usage that will only provoke counter-nouns / slang / encoding / the need for surveillance.

diplomatic anonymity
((HAHA)) Aesthetic marriage of both word as itself and device (onomatopoeia) BANG! POW! *** (moonshine or death? both?) But I'm no comic artist or comic or even artist (maybe..) the word artist sounds pretentious, am I the only one?? Sometimes I think computers are writing better poems than people these days, myself included (not that I'M so special) As you may be able to tell, I'm getting desperate to beat the Machine. (I wrote this on a phone, just realized the irony) If it weren't already obvious, but sometimes I'm not sure that others know where my head is at, as I am often questioning myself as it is. Especially lately.. largely in part to the simultaneous distractions and inspirations from LIFE! that which I write about is often what keeps me from writing (catch THAT 22!) Joseph Heller is somewhere in my old basement catching mold ..NO not the guy the book.. thank God.. I'm not much of a God guy though, maybe God isn't a guy or even a god!                                     maybe God is a good nights sleep speaking of, goodnight! (to dream of church organs and the way dust floats softly in view of a bright window) Sigh..
