Answer:
Definition of Imagery. As a literary device, imagery consists of descriptive language that can function as a way for the reader to better imagine the world of the piece of literature and also add symbolism to the work. Imagery draws on the five senses, namely the details of taste, touch, sight, smell, and sound.
When an author creates imagery, he or she uses words that create a mental picture in the reader's mind. ... Maya Angelou's poem "Caged Bird" is certainly full of imagery in every line and every stanza. The very first image we see is that of a "free bird" leaping on the "back of the wind."
