onomatopoeia by *iPawed on deviantART
Swinging. Click the link above to read the whole thing.
excerpt:
"doors click in frames - too audible
to pass unnoticed, but
not loud enough to entitle 'rattle'
i hear cars thrum past,
[i'm still not wholly used to that];
a bizarre sound of travel and air disturbance
that isn't quite encompassed by
swish or woosh:
onomatopoeia is never as easy
as the word suggests.
the wind strips the trees and
i strip,"

Demon Blood & Onomatopoeia | Books | Portland Mercury: "VOOSH-KLONK! KA-THUNK! BA-AAARF! I know it's a sad little cliché to begin anything having to do with comics with comics-y sound effects—it's about a half step short of the no-shit-Sherlock revelation 'Why, these funny books aren't just for kids anymore!'—but with Skullkickers, I can't help it. (Sorry!)"
