The rusty spigot
sputters,
utters
a splutter,
spatters a smattering of drops,
gashes wider;
slash,
splatters,
scatters,
spurts,
finally stops sputtering
and plash!
gushes rushes splashes
clear water dashes
2. What is happening in “Onomatopoeia”?
A. A rusty faucet hesitates but then allows water to run. <- I got this.
B. A rusty faucet sputters and then stops working altogether.
C. A person tries to fill a sink with water from a rusty faucet.
D. A person succeeds in getting water from a rusty faucet.
It can’t be C or D; I don’t think there are characters. And, I don’t think B is either, in the end, the faucet did work.
