Question

What is one way in which the poem "The Jelly-Fish" by Marianne Moore embodies Ezra Pound's rules of Imagism? A. It does not use descriptive words. B. It has an exact meter. C. It creates several images. D. It does not use excess words.

Answer 1

It does not have a forced meter.

Answer 2

The rules of imagism are direct treatment of the "thing", use of either no  ornament or good ornament and fear of abstraction. Pound defines image as "an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time".

In the poem "The Jelly-Fish" the author uses no ornament, no abstraction of the object, and the "thing" is treated directly.
