When a poet/writer attempts to describe something in words, so that it appeals to our five senses (sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste) he/she has used a device called Imagery.
For example: ‘a host of golden daffodils’.
‘to a chasm, deep and vast and wide’.
Go through other poems in your textbook or other books and find outlines that contain Imagery. Write them down along with the name of the poem and line/stanza number.

‘A very wise man once remarked that of the unspoken word, you are a master; of the spoken word, you are a slave.’

- Man proposes and God disposes.
- Speech is silver, but silence is gold.
