I love to read a poem, a letter, a story, with imagery in it. Honestly, truly, honestly, truly, emotions can be fabricated in writings. I'm not saying that I have read anything that the emotions were falsified, but I do believe that someone can write a deep, beautiful love poem for someone they feel nothing for.
Imagery, on the other hand, is harder to come by. For truly great and unique imagery, the writer has to have a certain ability to command and twist language to make the reader actually see the images in their mind.
I believe that poetry that couples great imagery with deep emotions is profound and sometimes hard to come by.
Why am I saying this?
Because one of my friends received a comment on one of his poems that said that too much imagery can be a bad thing.
Hello?
I never heard of such a creature. Have you?
I love imagery.

hmmmm I see what ppl are saying but even the "fabricated" or trying to hard imagery... i still like it, it shows not necessarily trying to be clever but trying to climb out of their box, try new things, words... experiment, so im with you jessi boo

"Too much imagery"??? In a POEM??? lmao
-
I just don't like Thesaurus imagery.
Yes, its nice you know big words,
now, lets see something, you know, happen in your poem.
And yes, as someone who's done it themself, its possible to write a "deep, beautiful love poem" (someone else wrote that, more or less, I'm not that pretentious about my own writing.) that's completely fabricated. I wrote it as a character excerise. -
I don't think there is such a thing as too much imagery...but there is a point where I think it's been forced.

i totaly agree with you on this,lol

I've seen too much of the wrong imagery, when it's obvious the writer is just trying to seem clever.
