SENSORY LANGUAGE TWO

WARM UP- FIND THE SENSORY LANGUAGE IN THIS POEM  When the Frost is on the Punkin  BY JAMES WHITCOMB RILEYJAMES WHITCOMB RILEY When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder’s in the shock, And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the struttin’ turkey-cock, And the clackin’ of the chickens, and the cluckin’ of the hens, And the rooster’s hallylooyer as he tiptoes on the fence; O, it’s then the times a feller is a-feelin’ at his best, With the risin’ sun to greet him from a night of peaceful rest, As he leaves the house, bareheaded, and goes out to feed the stock, When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder’s in the shock.

AUTUMN POEM

WARM UP: AUTUMN- COMPLETE IN YOUR INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS Sights Smells Tastes Sounds Feels

LOOK AT THIS FAMILIAR FALL POEM! The ribs of leaves lie in the dust, The beak of frost has picked the bough, The briar bears its thorn, and drought Has left its ravage on the field. The season’s wreckage lies about, Late autumn fruit is rotted now. All shade is lean, the antic branch Jerks skyward at the touch of wind, Dense trees no longer hold the light, The hedge and orchard grove are thinned. The dank bark dries beneath the sun, The last of harvesting is done. All things are brought to barn and fold. The oak leaves strain to be unbound, The sky turns dark, the year grows old, The buds draw in before the cold. Sensory Language? Figurative Language?
