My nails dig into my palms, I'm struggling to hold back the roaring within my head
There's the taste of copper... did I bite my tongue too hard?
My heart is pounding, lungs aching, throat constricting
I'm choking over the words that mean so much to me
My mind is on fire, but my body can't take the heat.

Prompt was to pick either anger, fear, joy, sadness, or disgust
Then make a chart of the five senses: touch, taste, sight, hearing, smell
Use the emotion you chose to fill out the senses. Ex. When I'm angry I can feel my body getting extremely tense
After filling with as many metaphors as you can in 5-10 minutes. Then create a one stanza poem using the metaphors of your choice. For fun in a group, you could read your poem to someone and see if they can guess what the emotion is.
