There is a close relationship between diction, counseling, and concrete words. The chosen Diction must produce an understanding therefore the words become more concrete as we live through sight, hearing, or taste. Assessment can be limited by meaning: words or wordings that can express sensory experiences, such as vision, hearing, and feeling. The line or verse of the poem seems to contain a sound echo (an auditive image), a visible thing (visual image), or something we can feel, touch, or touch (tactile image).
Assessment in 'Patience' poems by Chairil Anwar is as follows:
I can not sleep (tactile image)
People talking, dog nggonggong (image auditif)
The world far faded (tactile image)
dark climbing stone (tactile image)
Beaten by a pounding sound (auditive image)
next to it fire and ash (visual image)
I want to talk (tactile image)
My voice is gone, my energy is flying (tactile image)
Already! not so nothing! (tactile image)
This world is reluctant to be addressed, take care (tactile image)
Hard freeze water times (visual image)
And life is not alive anymore (tactile image)
I repeat that back (tactile image)
Closed ear, berpicing eyes (visual images)
Waiting for a break that must arrive (tactile image)
