A senses poem is a poem that describes something using the five senses. Often this poem type is used to write about a poem that cannot be directly experienced using each of the five senses such as feeling or emotion; however, this does not have to be the case. A city, a season, an animal, an object, etc. can be written about using a senses poem. Each stanza of a senses poem is made the following way. Your senses poem will have at least two stanzas. Line 1: subject name. Line 2: smells like… Line 3: looks like… Line 4: sounds like… Line 5: feels like… Line 6: tastes like…
Autumn
Autumn smells like cinnamon and pumpkin,
Looks like trees bursting with red and gold,
Sounds like leaves crunching underfoot,
Feels like cool breezes on your skin,
Tastes like warm apple cider and pie.
Autumn is a season that fills me with delight,
With its crisp and colorful atmosphere,
As I take it all in with my senses,
I know that autumn is finally here.
