  6. Onomatopoeia • Onomatopoeia is the imitation of natural sounds in word form. It is sensory language directed specifically at our sense of sound. It puts the audience right in the action. These words help us form mental pictures about the things, people, or places that are described. What's important about onomatopoeia is that these are words that sound like the thing that you're trying to do. So a word like pow, that's onomatopoeia. A word like quack, it doesn't have any definition other than it's trying to reproduce the sound that's made in nature. If you can use words like that, if you can invent words like that, you're on the road to great success with your writing. The audience feels like they're there. They can see it, they can hear it, it's all around them.
