Well, just listen to Jonita's sense poem and you'll find out what joy feels like to her! Jonita's brother Crusader wrote a sense poem about anger last year and now Jonita has written one about a completely different emotion. They may have written about different emotions but one thing they have in common is that they're both great writers.
If you want to write your own sense poem just follow this format. Think of an emotion first and then brainstorm what colour it reminds you of, what it would sound like, taste like, smell like, look like, feel like, and what it reminds you of. Use the format below and you'll have an awesome poem to share.

We've been learning about similes. Similes compare something to something else in order to create an image in the reader's mind, and include the words 'as…' or ' like …'. Similes are often used in poems to emphasize a point. You could write about yourself if you like you just need to brainstorm some ideas about what you are like ( fast, slow, loud, quiet, beautiful, clever, funny, silly or even crazy) and then think about think about things that remind you of that quality. Here is a simile poem written by Tyla.
