1. CREATIVE WRITING

2. WHAT IS IMAGERY? Imagery refers to the “pictures” or “images” which the readers perceive with their mind’s eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin and through which they experience the “duplicate world” created by poetic language (Ernesto Thaddeus M. Solmearano 2017 )

3. Here are the 5 types of imagery in poetry. 1. Visual Imagery 2. Auditory Imagery 3. Gustatory Imagery 4. Tactile Imagery 5. Olfactory Imagery

4. VISUAL IMAGERY entices the reader’s sense of sight by describing something that the speaker or narrator of the poem sees. It may include colors, brightness, shapes, sizes, and patterns ( Masterclass 2019).

5. EXAMPLE I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze (I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by Williams Wordsworth,1804)

6. AUDITORY IMAGERY appeals to the reader’s sense of hearing or sound. It may include music and other pleasant sounds, harsh noises, or silence. In addition to describing sound, the poet might also use a sound device like onomatopoeia, or words that imitate sounds (Imagery in Literature: Tools for Imagination 2020).

7. EXAMPLE The rooster crowed at early dawn, a sign that it was time to start the day. John woke up listening to the quiet murmurs of his children below; the clang of pots and pans signaled that breakfast is ready.

8. GUSTATORY IMAGERY the poet appeals to the reader’s sense of taste by describing something that the speaker or narrator of the poem tastes (Imagery in Literature: Tools for Imagination 2020).
