Imagery

Picture
vivid descriptive language that paints a picture in the reader's mind often employing one or more of the five senses.  In doing so, it deepens the reader's experience of the work and helps them feel as if they are a part of the reality that is created by the writer.  Look for it here:

The Summer Day by Mary Oliver

Vellichor by S.M.(M).L.

A creaky wooden door
jingles open, breathe in vellichor.
Shelves like branches full 
of paper leaves.  Smell vanilla
tannins drift down and surround,
spores sift through sunlight while
cross-legged our limbs the roots,
fingers skim over bindings,
searching, selecting, 
the inevitability and impossibility 
of just one choice this time.

A creaky wooden door 
jingles behind, breathe in salt sea.
Wind whips our hair, we tip-
toe across the sands, barely 
leaving footprints, our toes bare.
We settle in, nestled:
arms like wings wrap around,
cozied together as the sun
just starts to warm,
We pull the pages open and
dive in as the waves splash,
and the wind whips; the sand
swirls, and your wings hold 
me steady just long enough
to point the way this time.

    There's a poet in my soul; she's always been there, but is often neglected.  I'm letting her out here.  I hope you will too.  Here's some unsolicited advice:  When your poet speaks to you, just let it out, there's something there, I promise you.  Here you'll find ideas about how to hone your craft as I practice mine and lead you to some of my favorite published poems and poets.
