imagery

Imagery means that an author uses words to help you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch something in a poem.

Examples:

The white ocean waves sounded like a drum as they crashed onto the gritty beach and splattered the cold, salty spray onto my face.

The image in this poem is of a wave crashing onto a beach. The author doesn't just describe how it looks. The sound, taste, and feel of the wave crashing are described as well.
