Imagery

Definition: Imagery in poetry is when the author uses certain words to connect with the readers senses so that the readers experience with the poem is better.

Example:

I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do

--"Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down
