📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🎨 What is a Descriptive Poem? A descriptive poem uses vivid language to paint a picture in the reader's mind. It focuses on describing a person, place, thing, or event.
• 🖐️ Sensory Details: Descriptive poems use the five senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch) to create a strong image.
• 🌟 Imagery: Using similes (comparing using 'like' or 'as') and metaphors (saying something *is* something else) helps create imagery.
• 📝 Adjectives & Adverbs: Strong adjectives (describing words) and adverbs (words that describe verbs) are key!
• 💡 Tips for Success: Read the poem carefully and look for words that describe what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Ask yourself, 'What picture does this poem create in my mind?'
