When people read poems, they use imagery- creating visual images in your mental mind. Imagery is like the five senses: hearing, smelling, seeing, feeling, and tasting.
Example:
Let us go the, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient therised upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells.
Explain:
Imagery or imagination is important for readers to obtain. If the readers only read the poem and not visualize a picture in mind, it won't help them understand more clearly about the poem. Imagery also applies on the readers' experiences.
