Imagery is a language that appeals to the senses. It

smell, hearing taste and touch. In poetry, the use of
imagery adds rhythm and beauty to the lines of a poem.
Imagery is one of the more commonly used as poetic
devices.
Sight- this pertains to see someone or something
Smell- this pertains to the smelling
Taste- this pertains to the sense of tasting
Hearing- this pertains to listening of the sound

(First reading by the teacher)
To a Waterfowl
By: William Cullen Bryant
Wither, midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens with the last steps of day,
Far through their rosy depths dost thou pursue
Thy solitary way?
Vainly the fowler’s eye
Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong
As, darkly painted on the crimson sky,
Thy figure floats along
Seek’st thou the plashy brink
Of weedy lake, or marge of river wide,
Or where the rocking billows rise and sink
On the chafed ocean side?
There is a power whose care
Teaches thy way along that pathless coast
The desert and illimitable air_
Lone wandering, but not lost.
All day thy wings have fanned,
At that far height, the cold, thin atmosphere;
Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land,
Though the dark night is near
And soon that toil shall end; Yes, Ma’am!
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet on my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,
And shall not soon depart.
He who from zone to zone
Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight,
In the long way that I must tread alone
Will lead my steps aright.
(Second reading by the student)
Alright, thank you!
