Poetry Terms: Onomatopoeia ♥

 
DEFINITION
Words' sounds which truly demonstrates their meanings.


EXAMPLE
Knock-knock
Who's there?
Doughnut
Doughnut who?
Doughnut worry it is just a joke!


SIGNIFICANCE
Onomatopoeia is really cool and it's also an extremely hard word to pronounce and spell. It's cool when you say a word and actually hear what it sounds in real life. For example, when you talk about a bee, if you just say the word "bee", it's pretty boring but if you use its sound which is "buzz", it's so much better. Onomatopoeia is one of the best ways to create imagery.
