use(s) imagery?

1: poetry
2: poetry and prose
3: prose

Answer 1

2: Poetry and prose. They both use imagery. This is an excerpt from Preludes, an imagery poem by T.S. Eliot.

The winter evening settles down  

With smell of steaks in passageways.  

Six o'clock.  

The burnt-out ends of smoky days.  

And now a gusty shower wraps  

The grimy scraps

Of withered leaves about your feet

And newspapers from vacant lots;

The showers beat

On broken blinds and chimney-pots,

And at the corner of the street

A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.  

And then the lighting of the lamps.

A novel that uses imagery for example is the Night Circus by  Erin Morgenstern . You can read about something like gardens of ice, mazes of clouds, brilliantly decorated performance artists, and an olfactory bombardment of the most delectable of circus treats.
