#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 59, Onomatopoeia in Poetry 04/07/2026 Hi, this is Robbie, your host for this week's #TankaTuesday challenge. This week, we're writing poetry that includes onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is a type of word, or the process of creating a word, that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests a sound that it refers to. Some examples are crash, bang, squeal, etc. This week, I'm asking you to write a syllabic poem in any of the forms listed on this site using at least one onomatopoeia.

Connecting through Dreams, nonet Willow is our host at #TankaTuesday, and she asked us to write a nonet about our mother, or mother nature, or animal mothers. My mother passed when I was three, and I have no memories of her. However, through my astral travels, I've received messages from her that I hold dear. I didn't know much about her. I submitted my DNA to Ancestry.com and have traced my mother's lineage back through Germany, Russia, England, and well into the 1600s in Germany.

Theme is Mother.

I lived with grandma then, but you came
To get me and we ate ice cream
In a diner booth. It was
Your birthday. Twenty years
old. I begged for nuts
And a cherry
On the top.
You said
Yes.

where an artist would
struggle countless hours
to create such an effect
the wind dashes off
its works in a flash
