Imagery

Definition:
Literary text that describes something through our five senses:
Auditory-sound
Visual-sight
Olfacorty-smell
Gustatory- taste
Tactile- touch

Example:
"Yalimar dug her feet into the wet sand, burying her toes inside the beach as cold waves lapped at her ankles." This sentence has tactile imagery because you can feel the waves and the sand.

Significance:
Imagery is important because it's used throughout poetry. They help to create a "real" experience for the readers by using words that relates to their five senses.
