Imagery

Definition: Imagery are words that sounds like real things. Imagery are not visual, but you can feel like it's real.

Example:
The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.
Six o'clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimney-pots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
And then the lighting of the lamps.

Significance: Imagery help the reader to know more about the poem. It help the reader to know how good, bad, delicious, smal, big, etc. things was.
