a conventional rhythm.

precise language.

complex metaphors.

Explanation

Imagist poetry emphasizes clear, exact images expressed in precise language. In “Oread,” H.D. uses vivid, concentrated commands such as “Whirl up, sea” and “hurl your green over us” to make the scene sharply visual. This reflects precise language, not a fixed rhythm or rhyme scheme.
