First, make sure you know what "imagery", "connotation", and "denotation" mean. If you don't know, consult your text materials or look up "literary devices" in your search engine, and/or use the dictionary:

Then read the poem and look for examples of each.

Imagery displays the sensual language of what is trying to be addressed.
The synonym for sensory language is “imagery”, also can be attributed as the descriptive details of an object. These sensory language is a one technique that writers and artists uses to relate with readers with the use of an image, description, movement or scenario. It utilizes the five sensory organs –eyes, nose, ears, touch and taste. For example, his white snowy skin is so bright.
