Creative Writing with Imagery

Use sensory details, similes and metaphors to help readers picture a scene. Choose precise words and read your sentences aloud to check how they sound.

Imagery toolkit

Imagery uses words that appeal to the senses: sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. A simile compares two things using “like” or “as” (The rain tapped like tiny fingers). A metaphor says one thing is another (The playground was a beehive of activity).

Words to spark ideas

SIGHT: glimmering, shadowy, scarlet, misty · SOUND: crackling, distant, rattling, melodious · SMELL: earthy, smoky, fragrant, musty · TASTE: tangy, salty, bitter, creamy · TOUCH: prickly, silky, damp, scorching

1.Describe the sound and appearance of waves reaching a rocky shore. Write one sentence that uses at least two precise sensory words.
2.Write one simile about a strong wind. Use “like” or “as” to make the comparison clear.
3.Write one metaphor about a busy school corridor. Describe the corridor as if it were something else; do not use “like” or “as”.
4.Write a short paragraph of three or four sentences describing a place where you can relax. Include at least one simile, one metaphor and details that appeal to at least three senses.
