Senses Poems for Children

DOWN TOWN
By Josie Whitehead
I see many different faces
As they pass me in the street;
And some smiles upon the faces
Of the people that I meet.
I can hear the rumbling traffic
As it slowly passes by
And from down inside a pushchair
I now hear a toddler cry.
I feel lost beside the thousands
Who surge through the shopping mall,
With the constant noise of voices
As they chat or sometimes bawl.
I smell coffee in the café
And the smell of . . . .
ooh! steak and chips - mmm
But the taste which I love most of all
Is when they reach my lips.

Test Your Senses
With a partner or small group:
Tell them what you think of, using your own senses, for when you have been into a town. ie What do you see, hear, smell, taste or touch?
In my town we have brass bands that play lovely music in our gardens, and we can sit in the sunshine and listen to this music. I also hear the traffic, of course, but down at our river I hear humans and also dogs barking as they play and ducks quacking.
