One example could be Jabberwocky...
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
The words are nonsense but it sounds meaningful because it fits
our schema of what a poem should sound like.

Any time you modify a schema to take in new information, that is
accomodation.

So the first question is: Is adding into your
schema of "poetry" that "poetry is words that evoke images" an
example
of assimilation or accommodation? I'm thinking assimilation.
