Imagist Movement

At the start of the semester we learn of the imagist movement.  It was a movement that started in the early 1900s by Erza Pound and other poets.  In the book we are using it says "Imagist poetry invokes emotion and sparks the imagination through the vivid presentation of a limited number of images, or words and phrases that appeal to the senses".  To be perfectly clear, this is the books definition, not mine.  To be quite honest, I always hate when we start learning about poetry in english class, this being no different.  The poems that I read are like a sentence, a freaking sentence.  I couldn't get the meaning, but when talking about it in class with the other students, the poems had a lot of meaning to it, even though they were short.  I just hope I can understand it well enough to do well in the class.
