Best Answer

Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like the noise it signifies ie. bang has the the same effect as the sound (loud and harsh).

Onomatopoeia can be anywhere in a poem but they are verbs- the sausages sizzled

bang went the gun, the mud squelched

Do you have a poem with only onomatopoeia in it?

No. No "good" poem will have "only" onomatopoeia. Poetry uses a variety of literary devices and techniques. The all-encompassing name for these is poetics.However, some poems are heavily-laden with onomatopoeia. One example might be "The Windhover" by Gerard Manley Hopkins, a sonnet which describes the flight of a falcon. (The poem is not about a falcon, however.) That poem makes use of alliteration, rhythm and onomatopoeia to evoke the beauty of a falcon's flight. Since onomatopoeia has to do with sounds of words helping the reader's imagination to hear the sounds of the action being described, the onomatopoeia in that poem has mostly to do with the sounds of rushing air, wind, and the fluttering of wings and feathers. These sounds are conveyed by words in the poem that use w, s, sh, ch and h sounds.


What effect does onomatopoeia have in poetry?

Onomatopoeia has the effect of emphasis. Words will tell what is happening and what the imagery is, but onomatopoeia helps a reader or listener to "enter" the poem more completely in the imagination, by helping the reader to "hear" the sounds that would be present. In other words, onomatopoeia has the effect of enhancing the reader or listener's imagination. This is generally true whether the onomatopoeia is recognized or not.
