SUPER SENSORY Descriptive poems tickle your senses, send smells up your nostrils, clap noises in your eardrums, run texture over your fingertips, and paint settings before your eyes. You must know how it feels to stand knee deep on the beach, as wet sand gushes between your toes in order to compose it in a poem. Poems that capture sensory elements stick in a reader's mind and flow easily across the page as the reader scans your words.
The Beach It's a day when the ocean waves whisper to the sun:'Warm me up sunshine!'And the sun tries to throw its raysright at me,painting my white skininto a golden shimmery tan.The fingertip of the salty smelling windbrushes against my left cheek.The clouds try hard not to move.I see themcrawling inch by inch.
I Look down at my feet;and the hot pink nail polish;sinks into the warm sandthe grains squish between my toesRough.I gaze out into the crystal watershining like cherry-flavored lip glossand diamonds held in a blue blanket.I lean back into the pinkbluepurple of the wind,where it leaves goose bumps on my armand I feel as if I could blow awayat any time…
