(Onomatopoeia is a literary device where the sound of the spoken word imitates the sound of that which is being described -- here, the hiss of the snake.)"I could hear the hiss of the snake in the park."Another: "clip-clop of the rain drops."Onomatopoeia is best when the words accurately portray the sound as well of the sense of what is being described. Consider this:"The clusters of stiff leaves rubbed shoulders with one another, whispering secrets."You'll notice in the above example, you can hear, if you use your imagination, the "clicking" sounds that stiff leaves might make in a breeze. You can also hear the "s" or sibilant sounds, and without even thinking about it, because of the onomatopoeia, you imagine a breeze blowing through the leaves, although nothing about it was said.
