5 Senses Poem Template Bundle (Free Printables)

Poets start their writing journey with their five senses, jotting notes and observations about what they see, hear, feel, taste, and touch. Help your students translate what they learned about their five senses into an amazing poem with this printable template bundle. 

Inside the 5 Senses Poem Bundle

5-Senses Poem Brainstorming Sheet

Students choose a topic: a flower, a food, an experience. Then, they use the brainstorming sheet to generate ideas about how the topic feels, looks, smells, tastes, and sounds. Before students start working, brainstorm word lists they can use to get as specific as possible. 

5-Senses Poem Template

Once students have brainstormed their details, they can transfer their ideas into a poem. Students can use this template to draft their first and second drafts.
