Haiku
1. Searching for sun shine
Clouds kissed with a spark of light
A warm breeze at night
2. Feels like the arctic
Blankets warped over my head
Why all cold and wet?
3. Coloured leaves dancing
Trees becoming bare naked
A hint of cool breeze
4. Petals unfolding
Sun shining, flowers blooming
Gardens to be done
Sensory Language
Upon entering the grocery store, I headed directly to the sweets, where I spotted the chocolate. As I gently placed the chocolate bar in my rusty shopping cart, I caught a whiff of the sweet sweet caramel, I couldn't resist, so I added it to my cart. While heading to the checkout, I smelled the stench of seafood, which made my appetite disappear. As I pushed my cart to the check out line, I heard the laughter of a family getting groceries. As I headed to the car I couldn't help it but open the chocolate bar it was calling my name, I just had to put a piece in my mouth.
