    This document defines and provides examples of different types of imagery used in poetry: visual, auditory, and tactile. Visual imagery appeals to sight and describes colors, shapes, sizes, and patterns. The poem "Meeting at Night" is used to illustrate visual imagery through descriptions of the sea, land, moon, and waves. Auditory imagery appeals to sound and can include onomatopoeia or words that imitate sounds, as shown in the poem "Splinter." Tactile imagery appeals to the sense of touch and conveys temperatures, textures, and physical sensations, as demonstrated in the line "As one great Fumace Flamed" from a John Milton poem.

    EXAMPLE
    Meeting at Night
    By: Robert Browning (1812-1889)

    The gray sea and the long black land;


    And the yellow half-moon large and low;
    And the startled little waves that leap
    In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
    As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
    And quench its speed I’ the slushy sand.

    Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;


    Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
    A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
    And blue spurt of a lighted match,
    And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
    Than the two hearts beating each to each!
    “Meeting at Night” is a poem about
    love. Every line in that poem
    contains some image, some appeal to
    the senses:
    The gray sea, the long black land, the yellow
    half-moon, the startled little waves, fiery
    ringlets, the blue spurt of a lighted match – All
    appeal to our sense of sight and convey not only
    shape but also color and motion.
    Auditory Imagery

    This form of poetic imaginary appeals to


    the reader’s sense of hearing or sound.
    Including music and other pleasant
    sounds, harsh noise or silence. The poet
    might also use a sound device like
    onomatopoeia or word that imitate
    sounds.
    EXAMPLE
    Splinter
    By: Carl Sandburg

    the voice of the last cricket


    across the first frost
    is one kind of good-by
    it is so thin a splinter of
    singing
    It poem represent auditory by seen in
    the first line “The voice of the last
    cricket”
    Tactile Imagery

    This form of poetic imaginary


    appeals to the reader’s sense of
    touch. Including temperatures,
    textures and other physical
    sensations.
    Example

    A dungeon horrible, on all


    sides round.
    As one great Fumace
    Flamed
    From the poem above we can
    feel how hot the fire. It is
    (John Milton)
    almost like a big fireplace by
    the word “fumace flamed”.
    THANKS!
