The Taxi

Amy Lowell’s poem “The Taxi” contains images and descriptions that appeal to various senses. For example, “The world beats dead/Like a slackened drum.” appeals to the sense of hearing. “Streets coming fast/One after the other,” appeals to the sense of sight. Write your own poem or a brief description that uses sensory language appealing to the senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and/or touch.
