Onomatopoeia


Onomatopoeia
Definition: The use of words with sounds that imitate or suggest their meaning

Example:
Crack an Egg
Crack an egg.
Stir the butter.
Break the yolk.
Make it flutter.
Stoke the heat.
Hear it sizzle.
Shake the salt,
just a drizzle.
Flip it over,
just like that.
Press it down.
Squeeze it flat.
Pop the toast.
Spread jam thin.
Say the word.

Significance:
Onomatopoeia helps the poet to bring sounds and senses together. And I think it's also help the readers to feel interested to read
