Can you provide a specific example of a sensory poem?

Poets often use similes, metaphors, and descriptive language to create sensory imagery. They might also employ sound devices like alliteration to enhance the auditory experience.

How can I write my own sensory poetry?

Start by choosing a specific experience or moment. Focus on the details of what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. Use descriptive language to bring those sensations to life.
