English: Creative writing forms and learning term 1

 My sensory language writing. 

Sensory language is writing a story/ paragraph that involves all 5 senses. We were challenged, we had the task of writing this without using the words saw, heard, smelled, tasted, felt.

As I sat amongst the grass the cool breeze made its approach. It winded through the grass, I could

sense the breeze rushing along the hair on my arms and legs. I witnessed the sun appear soon after

and could take in the sound of the birds chirping. I could identify the aroma of the blossoming flowers.

I had the privilege of savoring the luscious, succulent dragon fruit. 

Similes and Metaphors.

What is a simile?

A simile is comparing something to another thing. Using words such as like or as.

Examples: The big was as loud as thunder, His spoke as loud as a lion's roar.

What is a metaphor?

A metaphor is calling something or someone something that isn't meant literally.

Examples: He had the mouth of an alligator, She gave off a mighty roar.

 

My Haikus:

Shining radiance

A fiery sandy desert 

A hot melting sun 

A leaf like a tear 

A graceful shift to the cold 

The heat had withdrawn 

A cool spectacle

Wrapped in layers of wool 

A graceful snowflake

The revival starts 

The heat prevails one more time  

The blooming of light 

Slam Poetry.

 I didn't have a favorite performance. Slam poetry wasn't very exciting or interesting in my opinion. I personally would prefer maybe a beat or something more pleasing to the ears. Maybe the words rhyme or have music with them.
