Why would the use of abstractions be offensive to an Imagist poet?

The use of abstractions would not be offensive to an Imagist poet. In fact, Imagism was a modernist poetry movement that emphasized the use of concrete imagery, precise language, and evocative metaphors to create vivid, sensory-rich poems that capture the essence of an experience or object. Abstractions, which tend to be more general and conceptually removed from direct sensory experience, are antithetical to the tenets of Imagism.
