Imagery is the representation through language of sense experience. There are many types, some are:
visual imagery - a mental picture seen in the mind's eye (frequently used in poetry)
auditory imagery - sounds
olfactory imagery - smells
gustatory imagery - tastes
tactile imagery - touch (such as hardness, softness, wetness, heat, cold)
organic imagery - internal sensation (hunger, thirst, fatigue, nausea)
kinesthetic imagery - movement or tension in the muscles or joints
Read Robert Browning's Meeting at Night and give several examples of imagery. Then determine what the poem is about. Post comments below.
