Onomatopoeia

Definition: is a word or phrase that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes.

Example:
Hallelujah!

Significance: Onomatopoeias give the poem more auditory imagery. Using this can give the reader an idea of what is making the noise, where they are, or what they are doing.
