Sensory Poems ExampleFresh-Baked Bread
I watched hungrily as my mother opens the ovenTo check the progress of the bread.My eyes devour the lightly browned crust.The mouthwatering aroma drifts across the kitchen.The delicious fragrance sneaks silentlyPast my nose into my brain.My tongue searches for a taste.My empty stomach shouts,“Eat! Eat! Eat!”Mother says, “A few more minutes.”
