sensory language

...is language that connects to the five senses (touch, smell, taste, hearing, sight) to create an image or description.

Example: The sun glinted bright orange on the still green pool. I inhaled the overpoweringly sweet scent of jasmine as the chatter of the party began to fade, children climbing into cars with mothers, doors slamming shut. The aquamarine tile bordering the pool was warm and smooth under my legs. I dipped my toes into the chilly water.

The knights armour shone bright in the midday sun. I observed the sweat running down the face of the knight as the heat made his skin wet. I could only imagine what the sweat was like as it ran down over his lips. The drip of the sweat landed with a plop on the ground below and I could feel the splash on my toes as it dripped beside me.
