Journal: Imagery
January 18, 2008
In this assignment we were to create a peaceful scene using as many examples of imagery as possible.
The trickle of the slow moving stream can be heard as it glides over the smooth rocks of the subtle rapids. The rhythmic chirp of a songbird echoes through the open windows as the slight breeze ruffles the drawn-back curtains. My sister’s fingers chime in, slowly tickling the ivory to a soft summer song. The wildflowers, bursting with color, wash the open house with a sweet smell that lingers in your nose, giving you the chance to revisit the smell, even upwind.
I wrote this paragraph to show how many images could be created with something as uneventful as a house. Most images would be of an event, something in nature, something exciting, full of color, but I created an image of a house on a summer afternoon and gave it more imagery than I could find in any view from a window of that house.
