What Is an Image? An image is a word or phrase that appeals to one of our senses. Images can help us create a mental picture hear a sound feel texture or temperature taste a sweet, sour, or salty flavor

What Is an Image? Listen to this excerpt of “The Shell” by James Stephens and imagine the scene he describes. And straightway like a bell Came low and clear The slow, sad murmur of the distant seas, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . And in the hush of waters was the sound Of pebbles rolling round, For ever rolling with a hollow sound. And bubbling sea-weeds as the waters go Swish to and fro Their long, cold tentacles of slimy grey. —from “The Shell” by James Stephens

What Is an Image? [End of Section] Quick Check Which words appeal to the sense of hearing? sight? touch? And straightway like a bell Came low and clear The slow, sad murmur of the distant seas, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . And in the hush of waters was the sound Of pebbles rolling round, For ever rolling with a hollow sound. And bubbling sea-weeds as the waters go Swish to and fro Their long, cold tentacles of slimy grey. —from “The Shell” by James Stephens [End of Section]

Imagery in Poetry Poets and painters both create vivid images. Painters choose from a palette of colors to create different textures and moods in their works. Poets also have a palette—a palette of words—from which they choose just the right words to create a sensory experience for the reader.

Imagery in Poetry Poets use imagery to speak to our deepest feelings—joy, sorrow, wonder, love emphasize certain qualities of the subject create a mood Out on the land White Moon shines. Shines and glimmers against gnarled shadows, All silver to slow twisted shadows Falling across the long road that runs from the house. —from “Baby Face” by Carl Sandburg

Imagery in Poetry Imagery is part of a poet’s style a product of the poet’s own way of seeing the world a reflection of the time and place in which the poet lives

Imagery in Poetry [End of Section] Quick Check What mood does the poet create through his use of imagery? Quick Check The Loon by Lew Sarett A lonely lake, a lonely shore, A lone pine leaning on the moon; All night the water-beating wings Of a solitary loon. With mournful wail from dusk to dawn He gibbered at the taunting stars,— A hermit-soul gone raving mad, And beating at his bars. How does the imagery affect your emotions? Explain. [End of Section]

Practice Images can be drawn from all sorts of things we observe in life. For each category, create two images—one pleasant and one unpleasant. Try to include images that appeal to all five senses. Images Pleasant Unpleasant Animal images Flower images Water images Sky images Earth images City images Country images
