There are some kinds of imagery taht occurs in the poem like visual wors mountain, stone, field for the example, we can categorize these as visual
imagery, becasue they are easily captured by our minds’ eyes. Poetry appeals directly to our sense, of course thruogh music and rhythms,
which we actually hear when, it is read aloud. But indirectly it appeals to our sense through imagery, the representasion to the imagination of sense experience.
Imagery is a portion of essence of the meaning of a poem, not merely decoration. An image is a verbal representation of a sensory experience or of an
object that can be known by one or more of the senses. It functions by representing to the readers a sensation, by representing them with the reminder of some already
sensation. The poem below is the sample of imagery;
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills
In the imagination, it appears a man walking alone slowly as well as movement of cloud that floats on high over valley and hills. Even though the readers
do not see clearly with their own eyes, but they are able to imagine how the panorama is. This is what we call a representation of sensation to the readers to build up wider
imagination. There are some imageries that may appear in the poem like some mentioned below.
