How is Imagery important in Poems?(don't copy and pasted from the internet)

Imagery is important in poems because it can allow readers to taste, touch, smell, see, or even hear what is happening in a poem. Sometimes authors are able to cause readers to empathize with their poems by evoking a certain feeling that they want their readers to feel. Also, imagery allows readers to better understand an author's meaning of what occurs in a poem.
