Five Little Sensesby Anon

Five little senses are what I need, To use when things are near. I use my eyes to look and see.

I use my ears to hear. I use my nose to smell things.

I use my hands to touch. I use my mouth to taste

The things I love to eat so much. Five little senses standing in a row, To see, hear, smell, touch and taste

The things I need to know.

First Dog on the Moonby David Orme

‘Hi there,First Dog on the Moon,

How do you feel?’

Like nothing on Earth.

‘Yes, but can you taste anything up there?’

Bones so cold and dryThey bite my tongue.

‘That’s great, First Dog on the Moon.Now what can you smell?’

Fear of the things hiding in hard shadows.

‘OK, OK, so what can you see?’

Long dead forests,Broken winds in empty streets,

Things,Shadows.

‘So what are you going to do next,First Dog on the Moon?’

Sit and howl at the Earth.

Five Haiku about the SensesBy David Bateman

Grey-pink in the dawnsitting like far distant cloud:

a new mountain range.

From a long distanceeven my father’s cooking

smells a bit like food.

After the dentist’sI spoon soup into my mouth –

or mostly my mouth.

‘Easy listening’my father calls his music.

We all disagree.

Panting on my bikethe autumn rain in my mouth

tastes of the winter.

A Sense-less Poemby Carey Blyton

I’m having trouble with my ears –

they do not see so well.

My eyes are also failing fast –

they’ve lost their sense of smell.

My nose has lost its power of speech,

my tongue, its sense of touch;

alas, your sympathy’s in vain –

my hands can’t hear you much

My Uncommon Sensesby David Bateman

I touch the tasteAnd I taste the sound.Today my senses are

The wrong way round.

I can see the smellI can hear the view.

Today my senses Are all askew.

So I hear how you feelAnd I smell what you say.

My senses are reallyQuite strange today.

Another Sensational DayBy Andrew Fusek Peters

The roar of parents,A curse of clocks;Tinkle of toilets,

Shrugging on socks.

The flop of cereal,Pop song of toast;

Hurdling buses,The bell’s mad boast.

The jam of lessons,As hours overtake;

The theft of daydreams,The scent of break.

A rush-hour of shoes,The dawdle of light,A gaggle of gossipSummoning night.

Excuses for homework,The glue of the box,A sinking of pillows…

The curse of clocks.
