In the poem "Grandma Ling," the poet effectively uses imagery to portray the speaker's emotions. One example of imagery that highlights the speaker's feelings is the description of Grandma Ling's hands as "brown as the earth, / Strong and wrinkled, / Pulsing with stories." This imagery of her hands being "brown as the earth" conveys a sense of grounding and stability, suggesting that the speaker finds comfort in Grandma Ling's presence. Furthermore, the image of her hands being "strong and wrinkled" reflects the wisdom and resilience that Grandma Ling possesses, instilling a feeling of reverence in the speaker. Additionally, the description of her hands as "pulsing with stories" evokes a sense of vitality and rich experiences, emphasizing the emotional connection the speaker has with Grandma Ling. Overall, the poet skillfully uses these vivid images to illustrate the depth of the speaker's emotions towards Grandma Ling and depict the profound impact she has on their life.
