E
words that create specific imagery for the reader

Explanation

A poet may choose words for their connotations, or the feelings and associations they suggest, and for multiple meanings that add layers to a poem. Poets also consider whether words create particular images in a reader’s mind. A word’s number of letters or unusual spelling is not usually a meaningful consideration by itself.
