Recommended: Example poetry analysis about imagery

Poems I have read have always given a mental image through there descriptions, metaphors, and symbols. One of things that I find interesting is that many great poets have utilize imagery in their poems to get it across to their readers. Using in-depth descriptions in poetry better depicts to the reader your views. Some of my favorite poems has the best imagery, I was able to imagine the smells and see the backgrounds they describe. I found it amusing how roses are consider such a cliché in poems because when I was little I would always write my poems with “Roses are red, Violets are blue...” now I shall definitely avoid using roses as the theme of my poems. While reading “If the Tabloids Are True What About You” by Matthea Harvey, she gives

    ...ictures for the reader. The similar use of personification in “Snapping Beans” by Lisa Parker and the use of diction and imagery in “Nighttime Fires” by Regina Barreca support how the use of different poetic devices aid in imagery. The contrasting tones of “Song” by John Donne and “Love Poem” by John Frederick Nims show how even though the poems have opposite tones of each other, that doesn’t mean the amount of imagery changes.

  • Imagery In 'You Ve Got To Start Somewhere'

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    Imagery is made up of the five senses, which are sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. The first sense of sight is seen throughout the whole poem, specifically in the first two lines, “I had the idea of sitting still/while others rushed by.” This sight she envisions is so calm and still and the perfect example of appreciating the little things that life has to offer. Through the use of these terse statements, she allows it to have more meaning than some novels do as a whole.

    Nature can be sweet and calm, but can also be ferocious and scary. It can be a human's best friend, or his worse enemy.

  • Analysis Of Love Are Not All: It Is Not Meat Nor Drink

    719 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imagery is shown to be mostly what can be touched. For instance “Pinned down by pain and moaning for release” (Vincent Millay 10). These words substantiate an example of auditory imagery also, where Edna shows our readers the desperation of her love life and the suffering one may go through but still not trade love for freedom. Another example of words is “slumber”, “thickened lung”, and “fractured bone”. Those words are very disturbing not sentimental at all. They showed the pain that she felt in the bad days of her relationship. In the second stanza she then shows that love cannot heal you physically, but emotionally love can cause people to commit suicide. As you can see without imagery we wouldn’t be able to feel the way Edna felt

  • Emerson Characterizes a True Poet

    1029 Words  | 3 Pages

    The world we live in is such a work of art and its much a privilege to be living here. A poet can just go outside and write about the beauty he sees before him. There is so much one can write. One could write about life experiences, or one could just write about nature and its splendor. Emerson says that nature is like a picture-language and nature is expressed through images or symbols..nature is a symbol in the whole and every part. Every line we draw in the sand has expression and there is no body without its spirit or genious (1650). Emerson basically looks at everything in this world as a symbol because each image has so many different interpretations and ways to express it. Beauty is much in the eye of the beholder and how we express a particular item is up to the person and everyoneís expression would different. Thatís what makes poetry so great.

It is “language that addresses the sense.” (Beyer 622). Most poems are brief section of a story, an emotion that is being created in short lines. Writers uses image to express his/her mood or emotion by putting them into words at any given moment that draw the readers into a sensory experience.

    Poetry is an attempt to describe the nature and intensity of one's feelings and opinions. Often, however, these thoughts are too vague or complex to articulate. How does a poet translate these abstract ideas into something more tangible and workable? Simple, metaphorical objects and situations can be used to represent more elusive concepts. These can be interpreted in many different ways, however, and poets often use the same symbols to produce varying effects.

    “The Figure a Poem Makes” by Robert Frost talks about his perception of how poem should be view by people. Frost says all poems have their own unique characteristic from one another and always have morals that the readers can benefit from while being entertained. Every poems “begin in delight and end in wisdom (Frost, 630).” Poems make the readers to discover something they previously do not know. Frost also said that poetry cannot be truly understand through purely logic, but the readers can evaluate it through their emotions. The essay also mentions “no tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader (Frost, 631).” This line also suggest the feelings the writer put in his/her work connecting to the feeling of the readers.
