    Correction...

    I stand corrected. Thank you Andrea. Alliteration is the word I meant. But I still like onomatopoeia. It remains the word of the week.
     
    Apparently Nik has writing skills, but just doesn't know his writing terminology. Metaphors, alliterations, verbs, nouns, rhymes. Meh. They all serve there purpose, I just don't know what their proper titles are.
     
    Good night.
