Question

Onomatopoeia is a way of making your writing more interesting. Using onomatopoeia is a way of adding sound to your written work. Onomatopoeia stimulates your audience's inner ear, and makes your work come alive! You can use onomatopoeia to create a certain mood. For example, in the poem "The Bells," Edgar Allan Poe uses onomatopoeia to recreate the sound of different kind of bells. In each stanza, the mood is different, going from light and happy to dark and somber, all through the use of onomatopoeia.
Read the following excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Bells."

Hear the sledges with the bells--
Silver bells!...
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells--
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
