In the garden of twilight's hush,
Where whispers weave through petals lush,
The moon, a pearl in velvet skies,
Casts silver beams where dreams arise.

Stars dance upon the midnight breeze,
Their twinkling steps, a symphony's keys.
Each flower bows in gentle sway,
As night unfolds its silent play.

A river of time, serene and deep,
Flows through the land where shadows sleep.
Memories bloom like roses fair,
Their fragrance drifting through the air.

In this realm where time suspends,
Hope's gentle light softly ascends.
In every leaf, a tale to tell,
Of love's embrace, where hearts dwell.

So let us wander, you and I,
Beneath the vast and starlit sky.
For in this garden, we shall find,
The poetry of the soul entwined.

What is imagery in poetry?

"Women he liked, did shovel-bearded Bob.

Old Farmer Hayward of the Heath, but he

Loved horses. He himself was like a cob.

And leather-coloured. Also he loved a tree."

visual imagery

auditory imagery

"The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.

The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,

And the highwayman came riding—

Riding—riding—

The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door."

tactile imagery

cased in rough brown peel, the flesh

rose-amber, and the seed:

the seed a stone of wood, carved and



polished, walnut-colored, formed

like a brazilnut, but large,

large enough to fill

the hungry palm of a hand."

olfactory imagery

"The rotting pumpkin under the stairs

Bundled with switches and the cold ashes

Still holds for me, in its unwavering eyes,

The stinking shapes of cranes and witches,

Their path slanting down the pumpkin’s sky."

gustatory imagery

“Our grapes fresh from the vine,

Pomegranates full and fine,

Dates and sharp bullaces,

Rare pears and greengages,

Damsons and bilberries,

Taste them and try:

Currants and gooseberries,

Bright-fire-like barberries,

Figs to fill your mouth,

Citrons from the South,

Sweet to tongue and sound to eye;

Come buy, come buy.”
