Imagining poetry

You definitely make a good point about how one's own experience influences their interpretation of the imagery of a poem. So I guess, even if the meaning of a poem is completely ruined for someone, when explained what the poet had intended to say, even with vivid description everyone will always have their own imagery of the poem.
