Definition
A sound from a word that is referable to what it is representing.
Example
"Knock-Knock"
Who's there?
Boo.
Boo who?
Don't cry, it's just a joke.
Significance
Onomatopoeia lets you imagine what the sound is like if you were in the poem. Not only that, but can let you see where the climax is in the poem or where a important segment in the poem is.
