Onomatopoeia


Definition: The words that describe the sound of something.

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.
Breakfast's in.
Denise Rodgers

Significance: We use onomatopoeia to demonstrate the sound of something. It will help the reader imagine the action, the sound better.
