Definition: Imagery is descriptive language that stimulates the senses. Visual imagery describes sight, auditory imagery describes hearing, olfactory imagery describes smell, gustatory imagery describes taste and tactile imagery describes touch. Also, organic imagery describes feelings from within your body and kinesthetic imagery describes the feeling of movement.
Example: The beach smelled like rotting fish.
Significance: Imagery is important because it makes an imaginary world seem real. It allows readers to use their senses to understand a poem's setting in a clearer way.
