Descriptive poem

Write a Descriptive Poem Write a descriptive ode of 8-10 lines about your favorite dessert. Use both showing and telling language. Make sure the language appeals to at least three senses: see, hear, smell, taste, or touch. Plan your writing. Jot a list of three or more favorite desserts you can never turn down. Choose one as your topic. Decide whether your ode is going to be serious or silly. Talk directly to the object. Write a few sentences you could say to the object to make it understand how much it means to you. Write at least one simile or metaphor. List adjectives that describe your favorite dessert. Consider your five senses. Finish the sentences started below. When I see you __________________________________________________________________ When I hear you _________________________________________________________________ You smell ______________________________________________________________________ You taste _______________________________________________________________________ You feel ________________________________________________________________________ Write a hyperbole about your object. (Example: I wouldn’t survive without you.) Reread your sentences and draw a star by your favorite ones. Also, draw a star by your favorite adjective. © 2016 K12 Inc. All rights reserved.
