Patterns of imagery Visual imagery-sense of sight Looking for a Rain God Eg: Soft green moss

The Lake Isle of Innisfree’ by William Butler Yeats Visual Imagery (‘veils of the morning’, ‘midnight’s all a glimmer’, ‘noon a purple glow’, ‘evening full of the linnet’s wings’) Aural Imagery (‘bee-loud glade’, ‘cricket sings’, ‘lake water lapping’)

Gustatory imagery-sense of taste E.g. The sweet marinara sauce makes up for the bland sea-shall pasta beneath. Olfactory imagery-sense of smell E.g. His socks, still soaked with sweat from Tuesday's P.E. class, filled the classroom with an aroma skin to that of salty, week-old, rotting fish.
