onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia: words in poetry that sounds the same as it being said.
Ex:

Mom & Dad Are Home

Slam! Slam!
Go the car doors.
Jangle! Jangle!
Go the house keys.
Jiggle! Jiggle!
Go the keys in the door.
Squeak!
Goes the front door!
Thump! Thump!
That is me running down the stairs.
Guess what?
Mom and Dad are home!!
Onomatopoeia is important in poems because you can give words the same sound as the action. Also, adding creative words that sound the same as they are said really gets you thinking about about what the poem is trying to say.
