Notes:  This poem, titled "ONOMATOPOEIC WORDS", offers an intriguing and somewhat unconventional exploration of language's inherent musicality. These words act as percussive and melodic notes that, in themselves, convey a narrative or emotion, making the piece a sound-scape in its purest form.

The series of onomatopoeic words create a rhythm, with each word acting as a sonorous beat that mirrors its meaning. This musicality conveys a sense of the primordial power of words, reminding us that language is first and foremost a physical, auditory phenomenon, rooted in sounds that imitate real-life occurrences.

Each stanza seems to represent a different facet of experience. The first stanza involves primarily water-related sounds, suggesting a connection to the natural world. The second stanza explores human vocal expressions, thereby highlighting the richness of human communication and emotion. The last stanza is filled with loud, disruptive sounds, perhaps representing conflict, physical labor, or abrupt change.

Analyzing the poem as Carl Jung:

The poem might be seen as a study in archetypal representations of primal experiences. Onomatopoeic words, by their very nature, aim to replicate the actual sounds of the experiences they represent, thereby providing a connection to the collective unconscious.

The first stanza represents the water archetype, associated with the unconscious and the flow of emotion and intuition. The second stanza aligns with the archetype of communication, where different vocal sounds reflect various states of consciousness or emotional responses. The last stanza resonates with the archetype of the Self, expressing transformative, often disruptive experiences that lead to individuation.
