RE: The Only Sound :: Haiku of Japan #53
I'll have to think about that. Japanese has thousands of onomatopoeia... English needs more! "puh" would kind of describe the sound, when said quickly and lightly. Hmm...
What is the japanese onomatopoeia for the sound?
There are a lot of choices. I might choose gasa. "Ga-sa" can be for something falling by crumbling. The ga is the slight rustle as whatever dislodges then the sa is the impact.
The sound of silence is "jiiii" so we might paint the scene. "jiiiii" "ga-sa"
