What describes onomatopoeia?

Onomatopoeia is a form of speech which literally brings comics to life. The words "POW!" and "BOOM!" are actually classified as onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is when a sound is stated by using a word. Examples: The pig said oink. The rain went splish-splash on the sidewalk. The horse's hooves went clippity clop down the path. When a pig makes a sound, it does not literally say oink. Oink is onomatopoeia.
