Imagery

 

Definition: Imagery is details that shows the background of the writing. Imagery connects to your five senses: Sight, smell, taste, sound, and touch. 


There's five types of imagery. There are visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile imagery.


Example: 
"I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sand of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing i can do."


Significance: Imagery is so important to us. Without imagery, the world would be completely dark with no smell, taste, sound, or feelings. In poetry or writings, you'll have no idea what the it's about because there's no imagery. No imagery equals no life.
