Yesterday we gave you senses to play with to describe them poetically; but today we are going to ask you to mix them up. Sometime the juxtaposition of the unexpected gives rise to strong and poignant imagery – in poetry this is surely a good thing!

So think of the five senses – Smell, taste, touch, vision, and hearing.

Then write down a sentence for each; so smell describes a smell and taste a taste, but then mix them up into new combinations. Within these new combinations there may be a poem or just an idea of a poem; either way you can get some very good effects like this poem.
