OctPoWriMo 30 - Sensation

Today's prompt is to "write a poem that incorporates each of the senses." The cinquain seems fitting since there are five senses, but it has only five lines, and I had more to say. So each of the five stanzas in today's poem is a cinquain.

Sensation

I see

Art surrounds me,

Beauty encircles me.

Ask and receive; look and you’ll find

Beauty.

I hear

Everything sings;

Music is everywhere.

Listen! You will hear it as well:

Music.

I smell

Snow in the air,

The crisp scent of autumn,

Apples and pumpkins and spices,

Fragrance.

I taste

Pumpkin, turkey,

Sweet potatoes, and pie;

Candy apples and pumpkin spice:

Flavour.

I feel

Chill in my bones,

Warm fire roaring bright,

My lover’s warm lips on my skin:

Touching.
