31、tising. It may seem strange, but advertising and poetry have a lot in common. Like advertisements, poems: have vivid imagery and impressive sound; are richly symbolic; operate on an emotional level, use a language of feeling; are by nature brief, clear, economical with words; are narrative sometimes
32、, non-narrative other times. But unlike advertisements, poems tend to express complex, deep or various feelings rather than simple, sentimental, surface, or unchanged emotion.
