nature imagery
Pastoral literary scenes
Nature imagery refers to descriptive language evoking the natural world—landscapes, weather, plants, animals, seasons.
Writers use it to set mood, develop themes, or mirror emotional states: The storm clouds gathering overhead matched her darkening thoughts.
In poetry and literary analysis, nature imagery often carries symbolic weight beyond mere description.
