 * Five Senses Poem Example**

Anger is a red flame burning brightly against a black sky.

It smells like ash from a raging fire.

It tastes like bitter vinegar.

It sounds like drums pounding in my temples.

It feels like a steel band around my chest, tightening, stopping my breath.

It looks like the chaos of a storm.
