  6. Poetry Poetry is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response.

  7. POETRY SPEAKS TO THE HEART Poetry asks you to feel something (that’s the heart part), not just think about it. You can tell how the poet feels about being alone in the following example: Silence is A friend in times of sorrow When all the amiable chatter in the world Brings no relief -Jennifer Karakka

  8. POETRY SPEAKS TO THE SENSES Poets create word pictures that build an image in your mind. Notice how the following example appeals to your sense of sight: As night falls we head for bed, Great-grandma in her velvet, royal blue nightgown, Her silver hair like a moon in a night sky, Her curlers, when the light hits them just right, Sparkling like stars. -Carrie Materi

  9. Noisy filled with laughter shrieking and quiet that is what cabin 8 sounds like. -Jaclyn Wohl

  10. A cup of hot chocolate, Steaming, Its warm breath kissing my face. -Jennifer Karakkal http://greenlifesaver.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/creamy-hot-chocolate_413.jpg

  11. POETRY LOOKS DIFFERENT FROM PROSE http://www.alphea.ca/vervenaturals/alphea/alphea50plus/images/cartoon.jpg Poems are written in lines and stanzas (groups of lines), and they usually leave a lot of white space on a page. Here is a four-line stanza from a poem about a roller coaster: Chugging slowly to the top Waiting for that long, long drop My stomach turns into a knot. I focus on the parking lot. - Molly Jones

  12. POETRY SOUNDS DIFFERENT Poets pay special attention to sound in their work. Here are some of the techniques that make poems pleasing to the ear. Repeat words: I see water, I see sky, and I see sun. Rhyme words: Ever go away?. . . Happy every day. Repeat vowel sounds: Lonely old bones. Repeat consonant sounds: Sparkling silver stars. Use words that sound like what they mean: Eggs crack. Splat

  13. Sensory language – is writing or speech that appeals to one or more of the five senses. Senses in language Language can make reference to any or all senses by deliberate use of appropriate sensory words. Note that these can be both direct description and also sensory metaphors.

  14. SIGHT The visual sense is referenced by talking about light and dark, shades and hues, visible shape and appearance. Her brilliant red blouse fitted her slim figure like a glove.

  15. SOUND Auditory senses are triggered by reference to loudness, timbre, actual words spoken, and so on. He shouted harsh approval at the sound of her pure warbling Italian soprano.

  16. FEELING Tactile feeling and emotional feeling are closely connected, as we sense our emotions as tensions and other physical bodily experiences. His heart thumped as he grasped the meaning of her smile.

  17. TASTE AND SMELL Our gustatory senses are closely linked and are often used in the metaphoric sense. She could stomach his words no longer and smelled a bitter rat in his intent. Smell in particularly is powerfully evocative sense and can easily trigger early memories.

  18. SENSORY IMAGES Help the reader see, hear or feel things. Sensory images are details that appeal to the senses. An apple, for example, might be described "juicy and tart." The words "juicy and tart" appeal to your sense of taste.

  19. SENSORY IMAGE CONT. "The rolling rumble and crash" of thunder, on the other hand, appeals to your sense of hearing. Imagery may appeal to any of your senses.

  20. IMAGERY POEMS Imagery poems draw the reader into poetic experiences by touching on the images and senses which the reader already knows. The use of images in this type of poetry serves to intensify the impact of the work.

  21. Reflections Into the crystal pool I gazed to seeThe fleeting glimpse of a white-tailed deerSo pure, so freeBeneath a sapphire sky with cloudsShe emerges from a wooded glenSo cautious and delicateWith tiny fawn beside and coweringWhile towering pines trembled and swayedAs if almost knowingAnd a bold hawk perches and spiesA shimmering silver trout leapsGraceful and splendidHis dive breaking my gaze into the waterAnd I glace again to seeMyself- 1984

  22. Crystal Cascades Soft upon my eyelashesTurning my cheeks to pinkSoftly falling, fallingNot a sound in the air Delicately designed in snowFading away at my touchLeaving only a glistening dropAnd its memory - 1984

  23. SENSORY LANGUAGE: The Five Senses Food Poem • Think about a food or a drink item. • Think of several adjectives that describe it. What does it look like, smell like, sound like, and taste like? • Put these adjectives into categories based on the five senses.

  24. Example: • Adjectives: Sight...hang, purple Sound...soft crunch, Smell...sweet, sour, fruity Taste...delicious, sweet, juicy Touch...smooth, cold, round, lump

  25. Answer some of the questions listed. • What can you compare the food to? • If this food was an emotion, what? • Why do people eat this food? • What is special about this food? • Where does this food come from?

  26. When you are done, write a ten line poem based on your words. The poem should not directly TELL the reader what the food is. It should describe and show its various aspects by using sensory language.

  27. Fingers pry it loose, head tilts back, and I toss a violet sphere of sweet and sour water high in the air, catching it my mouth like a pro. My teeth pinch, piercing the lining to feel a tasty, squashy, crunch as if I popped a water balloon. The slimy mass goes ends up in my stomach, But my tongue is confused- the flavor’s not like the kool-aid or sweet tart kind.

  28. They hang on vines, careless and free until people pick Italians or Californians pick them. Some people spit out the pits to win contests. Some people stomp on them with barefeet to make the fermentation of antiquity. Some like to throw them especially in the lunch room, maybe at a friend’s head. Some make you buddies with peanut butter. I used to cut them in half so my baby brother wouldn’t choke. Oh, great orb of versatility, where would we be without you? What am I?

  29. ALLITERATION When two or more words in a poem begin with the same letter or sound. Dressy Daffodils "Dressy daffodils" is an example of alliteration because both the words begin with "D." Alliteration is like rhyming, but with alliteration the rhyming comes at the front of the words instead of the end.

  30. CARING CATS http://library.thinkquest.org/J0112392/alliteration.html Caring cats cascade offLaughing lamas Lounging.Underneath yelling yaks,Yelling at roamingRats. By Rachael
