I don't quite get what they mean by senses... Here is their question, it's based on a poem named 'The Village Blacksmith'. You can experience a poem more fully if you use your senses. What sense is the blacksmith using in lines 28 and 29? The lines: 28] He hears his daughter's voice, 29] Singing in the village choir, Later on, they also ask this: Give three details from the poem that appeal to your senses, and tell what sens each appeals to. I hope someone can help =]

  This is referring the the five senses: sight hearing taste touch smell The terminology "sensory details" is another way of referring to these five. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senses
