Imagery :]

Definition: use of words or pictures to describe ideas

Significance : The importance of imagery is you can imagine what the poetry is describing. Everyone thinks differently.  Your imagery will connect to your poem. It helps arouse readers’ imagination and helps the poetry or prose interesting and deeper in meaning

Example :

The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways
Six o'clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimney-pots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
And then the lighting of the lamps.
