LOVE - A Feeling Poem

In my creativity and writing workshop I'm doing with kids this summer, I was preparing the session for tomorrow with the FEELING POEM as shared by Heather at Soulfood Cafe. (A most inspiring creativity and writing sight at http://www.dailywriting.net/ in case you don't know it.)

The idea is to use our senses to describe our feelings like this:

Line one: Name an emotion

Line two: “Smells like. . .”

Line three: “Tastes like. . .”

Line four: “Sounds like. . .”

Line five: Feels like. . . .”

Line six: “Feels like. . .”

Line seven: “Feels like. . .”

Line eight: Name the emotion

On this day of celebrating my love for my husband my sample feeling poem goes like this:

Love
Smells like baking cookies,
Tastes like peach cobbler
Sounds like Mozart
Feels like a cozy chair
Feels like a chill down my spine
Feels like a soaring eagle
Love

Try it! It's a wonderful way to talk about feelings, use your imagination and practice similes and metaphors for all ages! Thanks Heather for sharing your amazing creativity!
