Imagery

Definition: You can have sights, smells, tastes, sounds, feelings from your imagination when you're reading a poem.

Example:
The Way I Play Soccer
Sweat streams down my face,
And my skin turns red under the watchful eye of the sun.
The sound of cleats pounding the earth is deafening
As my enemies charge down the field towards me.
I can sense the shooter is going to miss;
All at once, the ball collides into my chest.
Screams of victory roar across the field.
The grass stained, game ball rests
Rests lovingly between my two hands.

Poetry by Natasha Niemi

Significance: Imagery can help the reader know why the author is writing this for us to read.
