Imagery is the usage of details and descriptions in order to create a sensory experience for the reader. Imagery can come in the form of a physical description but also emotions. Imagery does not only refer to visual images but all the senses. Smells, sounds, tastes, and touches are all conveyed through poetic imagery. Imagery is not limited in scope and can refer to any form of sense or emotion. Imagery is central to most poetry and in some pieces is even the focus of the work.
