~~~ *** ~~~ Mew like a kitten Bark like a dog Tweet like a birdie Ribbit like a frog Cry like a baby Beep like a truck Roar like a lion Quack like a duck Squawk like a parrot Caw like a crow Cluck like a chicken Be silent as a doe Hoot like an owl Honk like a goose Howl like a wolf Call like a moose Neigh like a stallion Moo like a cow Bray like a donkey Oink like a sow Crow like a rooster Laugh like a loon Hiss like a snake Hum a little tune Chirp like a cricket Growl like a bear Cheep like a chick Creak like a stair Clap like the thunder Coo like a dove Whistle like the wind Sigh like in love Cackle like a witch Toot like a train Pop like a burst balloon Pitter-pat like the rain Gobble like a turkey Tick like a clock Buzz like a bumble bee Be silent as a rock ~~~ *** ~~~ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (10-16-2002 08:51 AM).] |

Ahhh, the sounds of the world. Today I am hearing the sound of leaves rustling in the strong wind, cars splashing in wet streets and a nor'east storm pelting the area. I think since this is a nor'easter, you must have sent this to us!!! I love all your sounds -- how I would love to see and hear before I vacate this world, the call of a moose. I grew up in New Hampshire and have never seen this magnificent animal. But I'm not giving up hope. Enjoy your day dear friend, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Marti ~ I wrote this song for children to help them identify the sounds of animals, but I had planned on writing a poem on sounds more for adults and you gave me some wonderful ideas in your reply!---but I won't plagiarize them! hehe ~ sending you some warm hugs--sounds like you'll need them with the cold front that's moving in to your area! ~ Linda |

Oh Linda, this is too cute! Way cool, and I am printing it out (with your permission, I hope) so I might read it aloud to my 16 month old grandson. Oh, will we have fun, Can't wait! He loves sounds, and of course I'll have to animate just a tiny bit to make him laugh, and join along. This belongs in a book for all to enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Big Hug To You, Pat ![]() ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Pat ~ Wow! That really was a "BIG HUG" you just sent to me! I'm still feeling it! And you're absolutely right about reading this animatedly. Little children just love it when I read this poem to them that way! ~ Enjoy reading this to your grandson--and give him a great big hug from me and keep one for yourself! ~ Linda |

Auguste ~ Whenever I have read this poem to children, I actually make all the sounds and the children break into gales of laughter and can't stop giggling. They always say, "More! More!" They are so much more animated than adult audiences!---well most of them! hehe Sorry for disturbing your concentration. I'll be silent as a rock so you can get back to your writing! tehe EA |
