Dancing

Prompt: Write a poem that evokes the sensations of one or more of the five senses without using nouns or verbs that are directly related to the senses themselves. Think about how the word “boom” tickles your ears just a little bit and you’ll get the idea. Examples of words to avoid: smell, scent, aroma, odor, taste, touch, feel, sight, see, view, hear, listen, etc.

Response: Dancing

tingles tangling in pulsating rhythm

though arms and legs

weaving through tendons

the beat shimmers and penetrates

into the depths of skin and fatty tissues

churning cells into a torrent of

sensation

bones bend in agonizing mimickry

tantilizing in their surrender to

symmetrical impulses
