Here’s a fun little poem that involves the five senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. How do YOU envision Spring? You can fill in the blank with a single word or two or you can write full-on sentences. It's basically free verse as there are no required rhyming patterns, unless, of course, YOU want to make it rhyme, which is perfectly fine.
Here is the pattern:
Spring Senses Poem
Spring looks like________________
Spring sounds like_______________
Spring feels like_________________
Spring smells like________________
Spring tastes like________________
Here's one
example of mine:
Spring Senses Poem
Spring looks like sunshine.
Spring sounds like birds singing.
Spring feels like a cool breeze.
Spring smells like mint leaves.
Spring tastes like strawberries.

There is
another way to approach a "Spring Senses Poem." You can start each
line of the poem with the function of that sense, like this:
Spring Senses Poem
I see_____________________
I hear____________________
I feel_____________________
I smell___________________
I taste____________________
Also, feel free to create this poem with the various five senses in whichever
order suits you.
So, here's my example of this style using I in front of each of the five
senses.
Spring Senses Poem
I see a mother hen gather her chicks.
I hear the song of a meadowlark.
I feel the warmth of the sun on my face.
I smell the fragrant dogwood blossoms.
I taste fresh cherry pie.
