In this story …

Onomatopoeia — From Orgasms to Church Bells — What’s Your Favorite?

… I asked you to contribute a favorite sound.

And you did.

From Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! to Yoikes! (and I’ll add “zing”), your best “onomatopoeticisms” flooded in. Thanks!

Now, it’s your turn:

• to get creative (some more)
• to get relational
• to use the words/sounds to break out a bit and connect

Here’s all I’m asking.

Using the ENTIRE word list below, create a short story (poem, prose, whatever) of your own (ScienceDuuude already has the jump on you) and publish it where you wish.

hmph, sooo, clink, Hm…, Grrr (growl), SPLAT, Mmmmm, whoosh, Ka-ching!, onomato-PEE-AHHHHH (that’s the ScienceDuuude’s “word”), murmur, egad, Guffaw, Schlurpppp, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!, Moo, Yoikes!, Giggle, Grrrrphhhh, zing
