My WHAT HOME MEANS TO ME Sensory Poem

What does the word ,”home,” mean to you ? Home is different for all of us , but they all have one thing in common : it is our special place. If home were described using my five senses , it would be … I see my beautiful collection of books , shiny and new , glinting in the sunlight. I smell the mouth - watering aroma of delicious home - cooked meals , sweet burning incense candles. I taste the sweet and savory, delicate bites of traditional Taiwanese cuisine, melting in my mouth . I hear the the soft whistling of a breeze rushing past an open window , my brother complaining , and the soft rustle of crisp paper . I feel the soft , coarse, fluffy fur on my stuffed animal collection , the smooth , sharp , cold , hot - pressed paper on my fingers as I read my novel . I hope that the word , “ home “, is as special to you as it is to me !
