In the context of poetry, imagery refers to descriptions in a poem that appeal to the five senses. This includes visual imagery (sight), auditory imagery (sound), tactile imagery (touch), olfactory imagery (smell), and gustatory imagery (taste). By using vivid and descriptive language, poets create mental pictures and evoke sensory experiences that allow readers to engage more deeply with the poem.
