Maybe it's the smell of wet leaves in the air, but I always think November has great smells.
Smells, scents, odors, aromas--whatever you want to call them--are one of the hardest things to describe when we write. Sometimes it's easier if we use a simile: a comparison using the words "like" or "as."
Try to describe what the following things smell like using a simile. Go wild with your imaginations!
I'll get us started.
- Dirty socks: Her dirty socks smelled like five-day-old fish.
- Salsa: Mom's homemade salsa smelled like the best vegetable garden on Earth.
Now you try some:
- Burning rubber
- Clean sheets
- Peanut butter
- The inside of our car
- The inside of my desk
- An eraser
- My dog's ears
- A tree trunk
- A rusty fence
- Already-been-chewed bubble gum
Have lots of fun with smells and similes!
