[step] If you know what you are going to write about (or during the writing of the poem, either works), open a separate document or get a piece of paper and bullet or make columns for each sense. Then fill them in with descriptions of the item you've chosen.
[substeps] What is the item (s)? What is it about the item (s)? Does it have the same or similar qualities? [title] Create a description. [step] Think about all the ways this item could affect your poem. It does not have to be cohesive lines, even basic words will do (you can enhance them later). Then, incorporate these into your poem, editing and fitting into your lines. For example, if you're writing a poem about falling prey to wasps, write out some details about the insect you found, and jot down details that tie it to the poem. [title] Save your marginal statements to great lengths. When you've made a list, you should also specify how difficult the item is to continue to be read and how the item could ultimately affect the reader's enjoyment. [substeps] A list of the five senses can help bolster your writing later.
