Question

From the rippulous pond
came the comfortable sound
of the Humming-Fish humming
while splashing around.

How does the diction affect the imagery in the poem? @C.A.M


The adjective “comfortable” helps the reader “see” the fish.

The verb “splashing” helps the reader “touch” the pond.

The noun “pond” helps the reader “taste” the fish.

The noun “rippulous” helps the reader “hear” the pond.
