Gustatory imagery is imagery which relates to the taste, such a sweet, and briny
22
. From explanation above the writer considers seven kinds imagery which
relate to the sense of human body. They are Visual imagery, auditory imagery, Organic imagery, Old factory imagery, tactile imagery, kinesthetic imagery, and
gustatory imagery.
E. Imagery Description Imagery Development Technique
The sharpness and vividness of any image will ordinarily depend on how specific it is and on the use of effective detail. Since imagery is a peculiarly effective
way of evoking vivid experience, conveying emotion as well as to causing a mental reproduction of sensations. We cannot evaluate a poem, however by the amount or
quality of its imagery alone. We should never judge any single element of a poem except in reference to the total intention of that poem.
Pradopo mentions that imagery should not be out of human senses experiences. Pradopo also forbids the using of clichéd images. He supposes that the
use of clichéd images cannot give poetic effect and cannot animate images on the poems

Imagery cannot limit by the direct presentation of concrete detail in their effort to transform perceptions into words. Poet may also compare that perception
with something else. The alternative way is by employing the figurative language
24
. Imagery was the sensory content of a work, whether literal or figurative
25
.The techniques of imagery making were divided into two methods

.
3. Direct description or Literally Description
The poet gives a description of any object, like panorama, idea, and any others through words. Whether it is literal, the poet cannot tell much over. The poet
should understand that poems have roles, the poet requires to use a short and obvious language on his poems. Great skill in choosing the appropriate diction for
the language of poetry would set an obvious imagery, without telling the details description of object. The diction itself would bring the reader into the world of
imagery. Example:
When the icicles hang by the all And the dick shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bers log into the hall, And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When bloods is nipped and ways be foul, The nightly sings the staring owl,
“Tu-whit, tu-who” “Winter”, Shakespeare

The diction of Shakespeare poem above is ordinary words, but Shakespeare composed an imagery that brought us into the winter of sixteenth century.
4. Figurative Description
Imagery is an effective method in awaking sense experience, but still restricted by the roles of poetry which obliged the use of minimal words with
maximal meaning. The poet had to choose short effective language to express imagery. As the alternative way, the poet had to use figurative language.
Example: Oh my luve, is like a red, red rose,
“”A red, red rose” Robert Burns Here Robert Burns uses visual imagery and simile to describe his feelings
about love. He describes his love is like a red rose.
