Imagery in poetry

"As Mommy washed up and the children played, smell of warm butter filled the air. (Anonymous)" Olfactory Great work! "A mouse found a beautiful piece of plum cake, The richest and sweetest that mortal could make: 'Twas heavy with citron and fragrant with spice, And covered with sugar all sparkling as ice. (Iona and Peter Opie)" gustatory Great work! "The sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might: He did his very best to make The billows smooth and bright - And this was odd, because it was The middle of the night. (Lewis Carroll) " Visual Personification Great work! "In the morning the city Spreads its wings Making a song In stone that sings. (Langston Hughes)" metaphor Great work! "Bow-wow, says the dog, Mew, mew says the cat, Grunt, grunt, goes the hog, And squeak goes the rat. Tu, whu, says the owl, Quack, quack, says the duck, And what the cuckoo says you know. (Mother Goose)" auditory Great work! """My love is like a red, red rose"" (Robert Burn)" Simile Great work! "A poem once stopped me on the street. I've got a poem stuck on my feet. A poem attacked me in the shower. I find a poem most every hour! (Mark Stansell)" Personification Good! There's one more.
