Imagery

Imagery: A type of poetry which the words of the poem make the reader see in their imagination.

The winter evening settles down

With smell of steaks in passageways.

Six o'clock.

The burnt-out ends of smoky days.

And now a gusty shower wraps

The grimy scraps

Of withered leaves about your feet

And newspapers from vacant lots;

The showers beat

On broken blinds and chimney-pots,

And at the corner of the street

A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.

And then the lighting of the lamps.

 Significance: Imagery helps the reader to image a picture by words to make them understand what it likes in the poem.
