A senses poem is a poem that describes something using the five senses. Often this poem type is used to write about a poem that cannot be directly experienced using each of the five senses such as a feeling of emotion; however, this does not have to be that case. A city, a season, an animal, an object, etc. can be written about using a senses poem. Each stanza of a senses poem will have at least two stanzas.

Answer 1

The ocean roars

Its salty scent tickling my nose

The sand beneath my toes, coarse and cool

The seagulls' cawing deafening my ears

The waves crashing, a rhythmic lullaby to my soul

The forest whispers

The earthy aroma of damp soil and pine needles

Soft leaves brushing against my skin

The crunch of twigs beneath my feet

All around, the whisper of nature's secrets

The city hums

The pungent smell of exhaust and concrete

The cacophony of honks and chatter

The neon lights blinding my eyes

Yet, the city's pulse thrums, alive and electric

The autumnal breeze sighs

The crisp air, with a tinge of wood smoke and spice

The rustling of leaves, crunching underfoot

The tang of apples, evoking memories of harvest

The yearning for warmth, amidst the fading daylight

A senses poem enriches the descriptive language of a poem by involving the reader's sensory experiences, immersing them in the imagery.
