The poets from Mrs. Thomas’s afterschool poetry program wrote about the 5 senses. This collaborative activity focused on 2 ways of using the senses; metaphorically and descriptive. In the first stanza, poets used the 5 senses to describe their siblings. In second stanza poets metaphorically use the senses.
My sister smells like fresh laundry
my brother sounds like he’s dying cat
my sister looks like a teeny-weenie elf
My sister feels as hard as a rock
my sister tastes like ranch dressing
I see your worth
I can taste your guilt
l can smell your happiness
I can feel your pain
I can hear your excitement
