Seven Types of Imagery in Action

Seven Types of Imagery in Action

In my mind’s eye is a mad marauder, the sense, the sight.
Visual. Yet vivid are chicks and the hen seeking some light.
It’s pictorial. What’s next in this taxonomy? It’s auditory.
I hear inflight echoes, chirping chicks, all self-explanatory.
For the sneaky eagle, chicks are a scented diet. It’s olfactory.
In the predator’s mouth, poor chicks are flavors. It’s gustatory.
The hunter has snatched a chick! Tactile. It’s now kinesthetic!
Chicks are racing for dear life. Terror and uproar. It’s organic.
