types of imagery in
poetry ?

6. There are 7 types of imagery in
a poem to look for :

7. Read the following examples of imagery carefully:
•It was dark and dim in the forest.
–>The words “dark” and “dim” are visual images.
•The children were screaming and shouting in the fields.
-> “Screaming” and “shouting” appeal to our sense of hearing or auditory
sense.
•He whiffed the aroma of brewed coffee.
–> “whiff” and “aroma” evoke our sense of smell or olfactory sense.
•The girl ran her hands on a soft satin fabric.
–> The idea of “soft” in this example appeals to our sense of touch or tactile
sense.
•The fresh and juicy orange are very cold and sweet.
–> “ juicy” and “sweet” when associated with oranges have an effect on our
sense of taste or gustatory sense

9.  Simile :comparing two things with the words "like"
and/or "as"
 Metaphor :comparing two things without using
"like" and "as"
 Hyperbole :A boldly exaggerated statement that
adds emphasis without in-tending to be literally
true
 Symbolism : expressing an idea indirectly through
the use of a symbol, or an image
 Personification : giving human-like characteristics
to objects

Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
From A Birthday by Christina Rossetti

Because I could not stop for death,
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.
