    ANALYZING IMAGERY USED IN POEMS


    Imagery
    - pertains to the elements in a poem that
    stimulate the five senses.
    - It relates to the use of words or figures of
    speech that make a strong mental pictures
    and sensation to the readers.
    - Imagery triggers the reader’s five senses.
    1. Visual - it is the most dominant type of
    imagery. It appeals to the reader’s sense of
    sight.
    Example: Man has wanted to fly like a bird
    to soar to the sky to reach the sky.

    The deep, blue sea sparkled in the


    sun.

    The golden rays of the setting sun


    reflected upon the clean waters of the
    lake.
    2. Auditory – It appeals to the reader’s sense
    of hearing.
    Examples: The tinkle of sweet bells filled the
    air.

    The owls hooting, the frogs croaking,


    and the sounds of nocturnal creatures
    rummaging in the woods made me want to
    abandon the campsite for the familiar
    sounds of the city.
    3. Gustatory – appeals to the reader’s sense of
    taste.

    Examples: The jam was flavored strawberry


    and cherry.

    Her mouth watered and her tongue


    burned as she bit into the sour,
    peppery mango chow.
    4. Olfactory- appeals to the reader’s sense of
    smell.
    Examples: “He whiffed the aroma of brewed
    coffee.”

    She inhaled deeply, and


    immediately smelled the strong scent
    of freshly grinded coffee beans.
    5. Tactile- appeals to the reader’s sense of
    touch.
    Examples:
    “As she tousled the child’s dark brown hair, she
    felt the silky strands glide through her fingers.”

    “ The wet, sticky mud clings to my hand.”


    6. Organic Imagery – used in expressing
    beyond the five senses. A type of imagery used
    for internal sensations.

    Example:
    Man’s dream experience has no ending,
    to fly like a bird, swim like a fish
    for he has found ways to swim in space
    and means to explore the ocean floor.
