Touching
Tasting
Seeing

Wonderful World
I can see
Trees and grass,
The sun and sky;

I can taste
Chocolate ice cream,
Apple pie;

I can hear
Music, laughter,
Words you said;

I can smell
Perfume, flowers,
Baking bread;

I can touch
Silk and velvet,
A baby's skin;
What a wonderful
World I'm in!

Eva Grant

You may want personify something by giving something not alive, human characteristics, such as in the poem below:

Satisfaction
Peace is a rainbow of color.
It smells like a rose,
and it tastes like sugar.
Peace sounds like a bluebird
and feels like a handshake.
