What is it?
Imagery means to use figurative language
to represent objects, actions, and ideas in
such a way that it appeals to our physical
senses

Why would a poet use it?

Transport reader (time or place)
Reader experiences the poem’s action
Reader experiences emotional reaction
 1. Visual imagery (sight) This form helps in evoking
the sight of a particular image explained. Visual
imagery appeals to the sense of sight, and plays the
largest role in imagery in literature. It describes what
a scene or character looks like.
 Visual imagery may include:
 Color, Shapes, Size, and Pattern.
 Example:
The night was black as ever, but bright stars lit up the sky
 2. auditory imagery, it is used to represent sound.
Auditory imagery describes specific sounds that are
happening within the story.
 Auditory imagery may include:
 Enjoyable sounds, Noises, and The lack of noise.
Example :
The sound must seem an echo to the sense:
Soft is the strain when Zephyr gently bows,
And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flow;
But when the loud surges lash the sounding shore,
The hoarse, rough verse should like the torrent roar
3. Olfactory imagery describes a particular scent.
It is related to the nose, that is, smell. Thus, it
helps to conjure up smells to the reader.
Example :
"Root Cellar," by Theodore Roethke:
And what a congress of stinks!—
Roots ripe as old bait,
Pulpy stems, rank, silo-rich,
4. Gustatory imagery refers to how thing taste. When composers
use gustatory imagery, they describe ho things taste.
For example : suzy tasted the acrid flavor of high ocane fuel as her
pit cre filled the tank”

5. Tactile imagery appeals to the sense of touch. Sense of touch is

represented with the use of tactile imagery.
Example : in the sensation of touch (and possibly taste) in the fourth
stanza of Helen Chasin's poem, "The Word Plum":
The word plum is delicious
pout and push, luxury of
self-love, and savoring murmur
full in the mouth and falling
like fruit
taut skin
pierced, bitten, provoked into
juice, and tart flesh. (1-8).
 A Poison Tree
BY WILLIAM BLAKE
And into my garden stole,
When the night had veild the pole;
In the morning glad I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
