Onomatopoeias

Onomatopoeic words mimic sounds and add color to writing. They are words that imitate sounds, like "moo" for the sound cows make. Onomatopoeia refers to using words whose sounds suggest their meaning, helping to describe events like the fizzing of soda being poured or the crack of a rock bouncing off metal.
