Sometimes young poets have a hard time using descriptive language in poems. After reading “Natures Way” by Heidi Campbell the poets studied the use of the 5 senses in the poem. Using the 5 senses is one easy way to use descriptive language in literature. The poets were asked to describe a scene in their life by only using the 5 senses. Enjoy!
Rain
By Solange
The sound of droplets falling on my window
The cold fresh water on my tongue
Falling on me everywhere I go
I can see the dark gloomy sky
I can smell the sadness spreading all around Chicago.
Smiles turn into frowns
Candles
Lailanie and Abby
The smell of the burning lavender
The feel of the heat when I put my had over it
The sound of burning fire
The look of the melting purple wax
The taste of smoke in the air
Popcorn
By Jayvee
The sound of it popping
I can see them putting butter on it
I can smell the butter
The taste of the butter popping
The workers can feel the shape
