I think you are going to have to make this thesis statement more specific.  Right now, you are saying that imagery creates mood, but that is a very general statement. Since your paper is meant to support or prove your thesis statement, the reader needs to know what kind of mood the imagery creates, so the reader can assess the success of your support for it.


I do not know if whether or not you have already chosen your imagery examples, but if you have, you need to evaluate the mood that they are creating.  Sometimes we need to work "backwards" when we are creating a thesis statement because we are still exploring what point it is we want to make.  If you have three examples, ask how you can characterize the mood they evoke.  That will form the basis of your thesis.


We will be happy to look at your next version.  Good luck!
