6. Kinesthetic Imagery

Kinesthetic is derived from the word kinetic, which means movement or motion. Kinesthetic imagery, therefore, is a type of imagery that describes the actions and movements of people or objects.
Kinesthetic imagery includes:

• 
  Actions that lead to touch (e.g., running fingers on soft, silk fabric)
  
• 
  Physical movement (e.g., fiddling with his car keys)
  
• 
  Temperature (e.g., the warm sunlight kissed her face)
  

For example, “She rummaged through the trash, tossing pieces of garbage out of the bin until she finally found the letter that her father accidentally threw away.” The phrases “rummaged through the trash” and “tossing pieces of garbage” are kinesthetic imageries used to describe the act of physical movement. It is used as a graphic technique to help the reader create an accurate visual image of the scene.
7. Organic Imagery
Finally, organic imagery is arguably the most difficult and complex form of imagery. This is primarily because it is subjective and it deals with directly creating specific emotions or feelings within the reader. In other words, organic imagery entails the use of words and phrases that make the reader feel elated, nostalgic, fearful, sad, hungry, tired, thirsty, and more.
Organic imagery includes:
Personal experiences of a character’s body
Internal sensations and emotions
The poignant moment below, in Robert Frost’s 1916 poem called Birches, shows how organic imagery can be used:
So was I once myself a swinger of birches.
And so I dream of going back to be.
It’s when I’m weary of considerations,
And life is too much like a pathless wood
KINESTHETIC IMAGERY AND ORGANIC IMAGERY
Writers have another 2 types of imagery at their disposal: kinesthetic imagery and organic imagery. We include these as separate types of imagery because they describe senses that are more abstract than the other 5.
