Haiku Poetry - Beautiful Babies and Our Five Senses
(A Haiku for each sense from a newborn baby’s perspective)
Touch
I can feel your touch
Harsh on my soft newborn skin
A feel of warmth, love
💗💗💗💗
Sight
I can’t see you yet
But I can sense you are near
I sense light as sight
💗💗💗💗
Taste
Yes, I can sense taste
Sweet, sour, salty, bitter
I like sweet tastes best
💗💗💗💗
Hear
I can hear strange sounds
Loud noises, they startle me
Soothing sounds I like
💗💗💗💗
Smell
My smell sense is good
Especially my mum’s scent
It’s my saving grace
💗💗💗💗
Senses come alive
Combining as they should
That’s why I’m so cute.
💗💗💗💗
[Author's note: I have written two poems about senses previously
A haiku set about a blind person's senses:
and one that is a septet poem about our senses and the world around us:
Till next time,
