someone without an ounce of imagination

Seriously, why did anyone think it was acceptable to use these photos in a book, let alone to accompany poetry? We have an imagination and can imagine it so much better than a black and white drawing of a frog that is supposed to represent a hot sorrow bath or a box with a sad face to mean a despair room. This is the work of someone without an ounce of imagination. Oh right, that's why there has been so much plagiarizing.
