What is Sensory Language?
Sensory language is made up of two words, sensory and language. It means using language to create mental pictures that appeal to the sense of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Sensory language is also used to give the reader a visual effect of the story or poem.
Kaedun-
The tall rosiest full-blown flowers,
with a contradistinction touch of the colour brown and white,
capturing the attention of photographers nearby.
The Birds gliding past one another. Individuals chattering locally,
capturing photos and observing the delightful flowers.
The pitch-black nighttime was chilly and the breeze was glacial.
Example: William Shakespeare (Macbeth)
First Witch: When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
Second Witch: When the hurly-burly’s done,
When the battle’s lost and won.
Third Witch: That will be ere the set of sun.
First Witch: Where the place?
Second Witch: Upon the heath.
Third Witch: There to meet with Macbeth.
First Witch: I come, grimalkin!
Second Witch: Paddock calls.
Third Witch: Anon! ALL Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air.
