The imagination is an amazing part of our lives. It is part of us because we are able to create a more vivid picture of what we see. We have used our imagination since we were little, and still do to this day. Sure...we probably don't use it as vividly as we might have when we were younger, but the imagination is still there. Do we not use our imagination to create a realistic picture of a written piece?
Phillis Wheatley wrote a poem titled On Imagination, and it my favorite poem written by Wheatley because of how she wrote the poem. The poem looks as if it may have more than one meaning.
"Till some lov'd object strikes her wand'ring eyes,
Whose silken fetters all the senses bind,
And soft captivity involves the mind.
Imagination! who can sing thy force?"
The four lines above are lines that have caught my attention because it in a way shows what imagination is about. However, I would say that there is more to imagination than just that. Sure, we used our eyes, senses, and mind when using our imagination, but there can be so much more to it than that.
