5) smell
Writers use imagery to connect to their readers by helping us experience their writing through the senses. This allows us to imagine ourselves in the scene they are describing. In class, we wrote sentences describing a Hershey kiss without naming it or using the words chocolate and candy. Instead, we used imagery to describe the sight, sound, smell, feel, and taste of it. Now it's time to take those sentences and turn them into an "un-naming" poem!
REQUIREMENTS:
1) You can't use the words chocolate, candy, Hershey, or kiss
2) Your poem must use at least three of the five senses
3) It must look and sound like a poem, not sentences-- use poetic devices!!
Below is my example:
A small shining silver bell,
ReplyDeleteA crinkled and hard surface,
The soft sound of peacefully crinkling leaves.
Small but looks like the mushroom domes in Moscow
ReplyDeleteHard and cold like Ice
Loud and soft like dry leaves
It melts in your mouth like ice
Aubree Ellis 3rd hour
ReplyDeleteAs I approach the shiny mountain of shiny
foil, a surprise waiting inside. Sounds of
crinkling leaves in the fall, a smell
of Christmas morning. The rich taste
inside, reminds me of my childhood.
Bold to the touch,
ReplyDeleteyet welcoming
Unwrapped as a new beginning,
crinkling to life...
It smells of serenity and peace
nothing will anger it
Tastes like a morning when you realize you aren't going to school
because it's the weekend...
A silver mountain full of goodness,
ReplyDeleteA rough and hard surface,
The quite, soft, smooth sound of the wrapper
Small as a button
ReplyDeleteWrapper shining bright as a star
The smell of a Halloween night
lingers in the air
The silver shine casting off
ReplyDeleteRough yet soft to the touch
like a fire crackling in the background
The glistening glow of the wrapper
ReplyDeletecrunching and crackling as I open it up
The delicious aroma is released from it's capsule
I toss the delightful onion shaped dome into my mouth
An explosion of flavors begin to overcome me
The taste is just as delicious as cookies on Christmas morning
A smile creeps upon my lips
as I taste the moist and soft substance
A small, silver cone with a flag.
ReplyDeleteIt brings back memories of Easter,
A portal to the past.
The scent is warm and comforting,
And the taste is heavenly.
It melts like butter and is just as smooth.
Leaving a shiny reminder.
A glittering drop of silver shining in the light,
ReplyDeleteSleek and smooth, shedding it's shell of secrets,
It's warm, divine aroma wafting through the cool air,
Like velvet it coats my tongue,
And continues to sing a song of joy
A small cone, no bigger than my pinkie finger, rests upon my hand,
ReplyDeleteSilver paper wrapped around an around with sticking out the top, a little band,
Crunching, crackling, the paper curves as I peal it off,
Tastes of sweet sugar and has seems to have flavors to share,
Smells sickly sweet with milk and looks the color of warm brown of a wooden loft
This cone is something people share to show their affection, that they care,
This cone is sweet,
Like the thought put in for you to keep.
The shape of a raindrop,
ReplyDeletesmall as a coin.
Unwrapping with care
makes a crinkly crumple sound.
Exposing a heart-warming sweet scent,
fills the room
Solid, smooth, surface,
something you can't resist.
I hear
ReplyDeletethe
wind whistle
through the
red autumn
trees

DeleteSilver shining mountain adorn with a flag
ReplyDeletesweet smelling nectar released as it tears away
silently crunches then fades away
A shiny foil like wrapper,
ReplyDeleteWith a white tag sticking out
The tag has faded blue letters
The foil makes a crinkling noise,
The tag stays still
The smell reminds me of Valentines Day,
The day that you get that heart wrapped packaging
The small, glistening teardrop.
ReplyDeleteThe rough, scratchy texture under my fingers.
The crinkling of the silver lining as I unwrap the smooth object.
The sweet, silky taste exploding in my mouth like vibrant colors.
I remember my grandmother feeding me these when I was a child.
And I grin.
A Blissful Shiny Wrapping
ReplyDeleteBrings Joy to the air
As you open the crackling wrapper
Sweet, Halloween smells enter the air
Then the sweetness enters your mouth
(Dead Leaf)
ReplyDeleteBrittle, papery material, colored a dark ecru,
Like the worn pages of an old book
A crisp, crackling sound,
A loud crunch under the pressure of my shoe
An unsettling scent of decay,
The odor of rotting waste
The ultimate symbol of a dying season
Looks as smooth as a marble,
ReplyDeleteyet feels so rugged and rocky-
The crinkling and crackling
could drive a person mad-
But the taste could keep
a person's’ sanity,
A creamy joy melting in your mouth
The wrapper shines like a moon
ReplyDeleteit makes me think of rain as I open it
It's wrinkly like a grandmas face
Sweet like sugar as it enters your mouth
makes me feel like warm hugs from my mother
The object surrounded in silvery foil
ReplyDeleteWith a bumpy texture so crisply packaged
As I opened the foil and what do I hear?
A quite little crumble is what appears
Silver paper shaped like a cone
ReplyDeleteWrinkles and annoying sounds from the paper
A strong smell of delight
Smooth texture of the delicious flavor
The shiny foil crinkles and shimmers,
ReplyDeleteAs I unwrap the tiny dome,
The smooth surface slides in my hand,
And I raise it up to my mouth,
The heavenly taste hits my tongue,
Bringing me back to the good old days,
Of December mornings by the fire,
And shiny presents beneath the tree,
Of bright red stockings hanging up,
And pure white snow outside our home,
The heavenly taste brings me back,
To the Christmas mornings of the past
As I slowly open the wrapper
ReplyDeleteThe glittering tinfoil catches my eye
A warm, happy smell greets me
Like Halloween in the fall
Along with a light crinkling sound
Like leaves crunching on the ground
The taste is a sweet surprise
And I am brought to an autumn evening
The silver shine of the wrapper
ReplyDeletecrinkling as I unwrap it
the sweet scent is unveiled
and the sugary taste fills my mouth
which fills me with pleasure
A shimmering silver wrapper
ReplyDeleteThe sound as I open the coin sized treat
like crunching metal leaves
The smell, like a warm mocha
on a cold Christmas morning
It starts to melt as soon as it enters my mouth
A feeling of pleasure comes over me
See the shiny like silver wrapper
ReplyDeleteSmooth and rough to the touch, like sandpaper
Unwrapping it like a present on Christmas morning
Smelling the sweet smell
It is tiny and grey
ReplyDeletecrinkly and cone shaped
sweet, silky, and smooth
It smells like Valentines Day
A gleaming mountain full of lushious goodness,
ReplyDeletecrinkling foil slowly unwrapping in my hands,
the sweet taste gently melting in my mouth.
The shimmering wrapper
ReplyDeletepff it goes
The sweat smell fills my nose
I take a bite of the sweet
as I wonder else will I eat
Dark grey and rough is what the beginning looked like.
ReplyDeleteTough times and hard times, sadness and strife.
Then a happier chapter would start to unfold.
Still dark, still weary, but still having hope.
Now this next layer, thankfully, would be a lot sweeter.
More good times than bad, more helpers than cheaters.
My story had ended and sweetness still lay,
But it will soon start all over, wrapped rough and dark grey.

ReplyDeleteAn octopus made of the moon,
ReplyDeleteWraps its tendrils around it,
Silently, but more so irritating,
it makes its mark in society,
It melts in your mouth,
its bitter sweetness suggestive,
The aroma of a confection invites you in,
and swallows you whole
A small wrinkly hill
ReplyDeleterough like rhinos skin
Stench in the air
Rich mount of muck
A mountain of silver
ReplyDeleteThe smell of Christmas
Take away the silver with a soft crinkle
And under is a sweet gift for my taste buds
The object has a shiny outer layer and the top comes to a small round point and the bottom is wider and has a round bottom
ReplyDeleteThe object is smooth and cool
When unwrapped the light foil makes a soothing, soft crinkle
It smells sweet and strong, like Christmas morning
It is sweet and rich it seems like something I would receive on Easter morning.
The silver wrapping holding the goodness, with its signature writing on the piece of paper that sticked out. The smell make me think of when they through it in your bag on the night where people stay out late in costumes, and the day where a sock is hanging over a fireplace. The sweet gift is something to eat as it melts on your tongue making you think another one won’t hurt.

ReplyDeleteShaped like a bell but it makes no noise
Dispose of the wrapping, the smell of happiness fills the air
The taste of sweetness and joy
Circular yet pointed,
ReplyDeletesmooth yet wrinkly,
odorous yet pleasant,
sweet yet bitter.
Why does it always seem to me
that this little piece of shiny
seems to be so many things
as it lifts my tongue on its wings.
Is it that taste that I adore?
That never seems to give me a bore?
Or that smooth and creamy look
That lures my eyes just like a hook
Maybe its that entrancing smell
That seems to hold me in it's spell
I guess the world will never know
Because I went and ate it so.
