Four Senses

Students write a word paint about experiencing a drizzly morning using all senses except for sight.


I felt some drips on my head and I heard chain rattling. I also smelled something sweet and wet. I felt a cold bar of metal against me. The cold, moist droplets continued to fall on me. I heard mettle rubbing and birds chirping  The atmosphere was cold. It felt like forever. The grass felt really beautiful.  I heard some horns and honks. Also weed whackers, I think. Maybe a lawn mower. I heard cars and a whistle.

I heard a humming bird in a nearby tree. I heard a lot of cars and honking. I heard a scraping sound and the rambling of wheels and rain. I felt nice, kinda good, like my cousin's house in Oregon in their backyard. I smelled the rain and I smelled grass and moist dirt and it tasted like water and moist dirt. It kind of smelt like wet wood and wet cement. Wet trees.

I touched and felt wet water droplets and a weird bug rammed into my hand, but I don't know where it went. I felt water dripping around me. I felt some heat.

It tasted good, like clear water in a small stream and a the same time it felt warm, moist and it felt cozy, sweet, nice, and it tasted very nice like Oregon.

The Battle in My Mouth


My favorite foods are pizza, In-n-Out burgers, and chicken wings. My least favorite foods are tuna and sourdough. Once my mom made me eat tuna in order to have dessert. I pictured the tuna as a roaring dragon and me, the shiny knight. Every time I had an aftertaste, the dragon breathed fire. Then I took a sip of milk and blocked the fire with my shield. This battle went on and on until I was finished with my food. The dragon was then defeated and the knight got his brownie.

PS I was five years old when this battle took place.
