IMAGERY IN POETRY( ready to start?)

(Read More...)

Stone stanza (Imagery workshop)

Electromagnetic energy replete in heat not light
encompasses as a hot blanket as gravity is fought.
Heat rises and the stone awaits its fury.
Time, pressure and heat are all.

I see those"last few words"

Now you are just trying to aggravate me lol. In you example you have used metaphor to suppy images which can be interpreted more ways than one. Fighting gravity... this leaves the reader to decide how it's fought. this is indirect or unspoken imagery.
Let me give another example. You might want to describe a hollow which at one time was inhabited but is now empty of people = "where none go NOW but hare and deer"....this help any?

If this is

what I think, it is a pure scientific little piece.
I can't say that I have fully got the image but thought it's all a direct one and has very little indirect imagery.
Let's see what the boss and others might say.
