Crash like motorbikes in the night

Hiss like the whisper of snake speech

Clang

Whisper

It can go on. Certain names become so known they sound like Onomatopoeia

Lady Gaga

Tony Bennett

Madonna

I feel this special sound now in the names of famous authors that have shaped my writing

Walt Whitman

Abe Lincoln

Ernest Hemingway

Expect to read about me in Worth magazine as one of their Wirth 100 this year

Why is this recognition happening? I do not know. But it sounds right.
