Presentation transcript:

Sensory Imagery in Poetry Create a picture with your words…

What is sensory imagery? Imagery that uses your five senses Hearing Smelling Tasting Feeling Seeing What is sensory imagery?

IMAGERY is not for the weak-minded Try to “show” readers what you want them to see through words. The more descriptive your words, the more imagery your writing will create. Imagery is the way a poet or author puts words together to create a picture for the reader. IMAGERY is not for the weak-minded

Let’s look at some examples The rain came down from the sky. In this example, could you see the rain in your mind? Could you feel it? Did this create a picture in your head as you read it? Do you think your picture was close to everyone else’s picture in his/her head? Why or why not? Let’s look at some examples

The bitterly cold rain drizzled in quiet, silent drops from the ashen gray sky. Could you see the rain in your mind? Could you feel it? Did this create a picture in your head as you read it? Do you think your picture was close to everyone else’s picture in his/her head? Why or why not? Another example

The rain came down from the sky. The bitterly cold rain drizzled in quiet, silent drops from the ashen gray sky. Why? What words helped create a clearer, stronger picture? Imagery uses STRONG words to describe an image. It helps CREATE the picture for you. Which one of the two examples described the rainstorm in a more descriptive way?

YOUR TURN Now, it’s time for you to try to use imagery. Get your pencil and paper ready. YOUR TURN

Close your EYES and IMAGINE a rainstorm… Try to picture the rainstorm in your mind and describe exactly what you see, hear, smell, feel, or taste. Free-write ideas about these 5 senses before you write anything else: What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? What can you feel? Do you taste anything? Close your EYES and IMAGINE a rainstorm…

Now take what you’ve written and put it into poetic form. Take the strongest images from your free- write and try to “create” the rainstorm through a poem. Have fun with your poem. Practice those strong images and sensory imagery! Your poem DOES NOT have to rhyme.  Put it in poetry
