Sense-sational Poems

You can make your poetry come alive by using all your senses. What does your subject look like? Sound like? Smell like? Feel like? Taste like?

Use all your senses that make sense to describe your subject. You can use the format below which uses similes, or you can use a format of your own.

Format:

Line 1: Your subject
Line 2: Looks like ________________.
Line 3: Sounds like ________________.
Line 4: Smells like ________________.
Line 5: Feels like _________________.
Line 6: Tastes like ________________.
Line 7: Another name for your subject

Example:

Goldfish
Looks like a yellow submarine
Sounds like rippling water
Smells like food flakes
Feels like a sequined broach
Tastes like Friday dinner,
but I’ll never eat
My pet, Sharkie
