The poet uses words to create art instead of use the traditionally clichéd examples of art. In poetry the canvas the poet uses is the reader himself Poets go beyond the writers and consider the emotional qualities of the words, its values ​​and even the spacing in relation to the page to create a resonance. emotional. in the reader. Poetry is an evocative art form capable of inspiring strong emotions in the reader such as happiness and anger while maintaining the ability to surprise a reader. This essay focuses on poetry as a way of “showing, not telling ", what The emotional response that poets can create through their use of language is how this affects the reader and the images that a poet creates in a person's mind through their use of language. Poets are able to create a vivid image in the reader's mind through their use. of language and, in turn, through these images, elicit an intense emotional response in the reader to help further captivate them in what the poet is trying to reveal to them. This can be seen through Wallace Stevenson's poem "Disillusionment of Ten O'clock" where the use of imagery is used to further define aspects of the poem. Throughout the poem, five different colors are used that appear in lines two through five. There is a sense of defeat expressed through the color white, with the lack of color perhaps evoking a sense of regret or a sense of lifelessness in the reader. This can arouse the feeling of ghosts passing through the house with a sense of monotony from "None are Green" and emphasizing the unanimity of ghosts with the live green meaning. They have lost their vitality... half of the paper... is underlined through the lines "I stop breathing". The poem expresses the resentment the poet feels at the way society has seemingly stopped caring and not noticing what is happening around them. This is expressed through the fact that the speaker does not know of his death until he stops and observes the larger world around him. Poets have an amazing ability to express different thoughts and expressions, as well as create images in the reader's head using only words, thoughts and their senses. The poet does not need to describe what is happening, but instead uses thoughts and opinions to express their writing in a way that is understandable to a reader, as well as evokes a response in a reader that might not otherwise be experienced. This expresses a poet's thoughts and opinions while also allowing the reader to come to their own conclusion as to what the meaning of the poem is.
