most sites say onomatopoeia, but i don't agree with that. I think that all forms of figurative language affect the sound of a poem! No one specific one effects it more than another, in my opinion. But people may think that onomatopoeia "affects the sound" the most because it has to do with "sound" words. ♥greendayluver
