emotional onomatopoeia

simply wispy
petřín gardens (prague)

prepare yourself to comment...

as onomatopoeia refers to words that "imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to", i think there are words that somehow imitate the emotion or the meaning of what they're referring to.

alas - every time i say this word, it is exactly what i feel/mean.
wisp - the sound is the image
lovely - the word embodies what it's describing
daisy - it is that cheery simple flower

these are the ones that first come to my mind. i know i've had other moments with words like this. i'd love to hear some of yours...
