Onomatopoeia.
"The Bells", by Edgar Allan Poe is a good one.
alliteration. They have the same cosanant sound in the middle
The Bellsโ is composed of four stanzas of increasing length and is a showcase of onomatopoeia, alliteration, repetition, and assonance. The first stanza, a study of merry sleigh bells, is followed by a stanza on joyous wedding bells.
E.g. there are many signs of onamotopeia in the song 'Winter Wonderland'.
The Bells, by E.A. Poe, for one. Also, Jabberwocky and the Highwayman, but the Bells is better.
Onomatopoeia refers to words that sound like the sounds they describe. Tintinnabulation is the ringing of bells. Others are: purr flutter clang screech gurgle whoosh splash crackle
A good example of onomatopoeia can be found in Wilfred Owen's famous "Anthem for Doomed Youth". The first verse is as follows (the onomatopoeia is indicated in italics): What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?- Only the monstrous anger of the guns.Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattleCan patter out their hasty orisons.No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, -The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
The phrase really contains two literary devices - alliteration, which is the repetition of a sound at the start of a word ( the 'cl' sound in this instance ) and onomatopoeia, the mimicking of the sound of the object in question ( bells ) in the words themselves.
The term is "simile," which is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things using "like" or "as."
Alliteration, repetition, and onomatopoeia are all literary devices used in "The Bells" by Edgar Allan Poe. Each stanza in the poem features a different type of bell, and the use of these literary devices helps create a sense of rhythm and musicality in the poem.
Held is not an onomatopoeia. An onomatopoeia is a sound like boom.
