A sensory poem describes a scene, an object, or an idea with vivid words that appeal to the five senses.

It tells how the subject looks, feels, smells, tastes, and sounds.

 

Pine Trees

Pine Trees are giants in my life.

Songs of the wind whistling wistfully fill my mind.

Aromas of the unmistakable smell of pine needles after a hard rain rise up.

Imagine the tiny yellow wildflowers tasting the morning dew.

Visions of tall silhouettes look like men dancing in the sky.

It feels like my childhood – rough, raw, and real.

Bare feet running down the gravel road.

Pine Trees are giants in my life.
