My Colour Memory Poem

Use the poem and planning prompts to explore how colour can bring a memory to life. Notice sensory details and figurative language, then create and reflect on your own poem.

Read: Colours at the campsite

The red tent glowed as evening folded over the hills. Blue lake water held the last strip of sky. Smoke curled above the fire, sharp with the scent of pine. Mere’s silver mug warmed my hands; its cocoa tasted of cinnamon. Oliver laughed, and the sound skipped across the dark water. By morning, pale gold light spilled over the sleeping campsite.

1.In the poem, which colour is linked with the tent?
2.Which two senses are directly described in the lines about the pine smoke and the cocoa?
3.Find the comparison that makes the lake seem to carry part of the sky. Copy the phrase.

Plan your colour memory

Choose five colours that connect to one real or imagined memory. For each, note a moment or object and one sensory detail. Include at least three different senses across your notes.

4.Complete a planning row with a colour, a memory detail and a sensory image. Example: amber — campfire at dusk — sparks crackled like tiny stars.
5.Write a colour-memory poem of at least ten lines. Use details from your plan, include at least three senses, and add a simile or metaphor.
6.Which technique is used in “The red tent glows like a small lantern”?
  • Simile
  • Metaphor
  • Rhyme
  • Alliteration
7.Choose one line from your poem that you think is effective. Explain what makes its imagery or word choice work well.
8.Set one specific goal for your next poem. You could focus on adding sound details, choosing stronger verbs or trying a new comparison.
