POEM STARTER

The Five Senses Of The Forest
SIGHT: The sighting Celestial body Lighting up the sky with bright stars. The sight of moths in the sky.
**SMELL: **
The fumes of earthy greens freshly cut on the ground with life sprouting near.
The scent of life filling my nose with pleasure-fullness.
There is not much more to ask for because this is substance for mere me.
SOUND: Critters cries are heard in the leafy green garden with fruits and veggies. The fruits and veggies are begging me to play in the mud-splattered ground. The trees are pleading for me to climb up their woody branches and trunks.
TOUCH:
**** My hand grazing the coarse leafy ground like sandpaper scratching my hand. The trees are very textured as if they were another human life. I couldn’t help but feel like I belonged here in this murky world.
**TASTE: **
**** I attempted to eat the earthy leafs they taste like a pungent sock. However, the fruits and veggies are very scrumptious, juicy and sweet. When I lick a tree branch that was not pleasant it taste like the green leafs.
