AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The Answer is Imagery.

Imagery in the poem is used here to express ideas about nature.

Explanation:

<em>Imagery</em> is one of several literary devices available to writers and poets.

When an author sits to write a story, he or she doesn't simply write what happened. Instead, He or she uses what are called literary devices which are <em>narrative techniques</em> that add texture, energy, and excitement to the narrative, grip the reader's imagination, and convey information.

There are hundreds of literary devices at the disposal of a writer. Some of them besides Imagery are:

  • Simile
  • Metaphor
  • Symbolism
  • Flashbacks
  • Foreshadowing
  • Motif
  • Allegory

In the poem above, the phrase "<em>beaded up on the window</em>" gives a vivid image of the after effects of the storm. It also tell us from what perspective the writer observed the storm.
