The Five Senses poem is designed to evoke emotions or ideas by appealing to all five senses. It emphasizes how sensory experiences can depict abstract concepts vividly. Based on the example provided, the poem describes "fall" through various sensory impressions:

  • Color: "Fall is red and yellow."
  • Taste: "It tastes like chicken soup."
  • Sound: "It sounds like wind through the trees."
  • Smell: "And smells like warm wood smoke."
  • Visual: "It looks like what you see when you get your new glasses."
  • Emotion/Feeling: "It makes you feel energetic."

In creating such poems, focus on concrete sensations linked to an abstract idea, emphasizing vivid imagery to evoke emotions effectively. This approach allows the reader to experience the poem through their senses, making the emotion or idea more tangible and relatable.
