He uses similes, metaphors and personifications to create<br />mental picture through words that gives a strong message to<br />understand the poet's message.

In other words, you<br />can think of imagery as painting with words in order to fuel the<br />reader's imagination. Majeed Amjad mellowed as a poet in the late<br />34s.
