Colour Poetry
A simile is a comparison between 2 things using the words 'like' or 'as'.
Colours can evoke or represent feelings.
For these colour poems, you use sensory words, descriptive language and similes to express the 'feelings' of a colour.
Notice how the colours are described in The Black Book of Colours by Menena Cottin and Rosana Faria. How would you describe a colour to someone who couldn't see it?
