Recently my friend, Curtis, mentioned a word I hadn’t heard before – onomatopoeia.

Ah yes, good old onomatopoeia...*sigh*...takes me back to my 'A' level English days........a 'hiss' of pain, the 'splash' of tears...er, oops, no, that's my D/s days, sorry, i'm getting all confused!!

And then of course there's alliteration, good old Keats and his 'silver, snarling trumpets'.
