Best Answer

Hello darkness my old friend-- personification

The sound of silence -- alliteration

People talking without speaking and people hearing without listening -- paradox

Silence like a cancer grows -- similie

Stabbed by the flash of the neon light, that splitthe night......

And in the naked light I saw -- metaphor

If I understand the question, the answer is onomatopoeia (also spelled onomatopeia). "Onomatopoeia" also refers to words that imitates the sound they refer to, such as honk, quack, purr, tweet, bang, thud.

The term is not restricted to recognized "words" of a language. For example, to describe the sound of water flowing in surges through a pipe, I might say or write pssh-wssh-wssh-wssh; that would also be an onomatopoeia. Poets have done much better, but I can't remember any examples offhand! :-)
