Here are my attempts: 

Sight

Bright in your glory,

I miss you in the dark spells –

Rainbows of colour

Taste

Juice flicks as I peel –

Zesty, fresh, sharp and sweet, it

Lingers on my tongue

Smell

Vanilla, lemon,

Warm bread rising, salt sea breeze -

These scents I love most

Hear

Hopping on branches

He twitters, bobbing his head

To his soft Spring song

Touch

In the chill morning

Before you wake, I snuggle

Against your warm skin

Here are my attempts: 

Time ticks tock tick tock

Shadows curse the chill hour

Deathly midnight, hush

Time ticks past a life

Races you, tricks you, lies in

The hand of the old

Time changed her - knowing

Everything he does is wrong

She sucks his bones dry!

The rhyme outside time

Plays with words echoing thoughts

Wrapped up inside

I leave time standing

In the hour of the glass

Strewn between sands

Time stops still and stares,

Glancing back through frozen air

It feels our despair

The hours, they drift by

In this endless stream of time -

Tick tock winds itself

In the midnight hour

He strums his guitar and sings

Tales of times gone by

She recalls moments

Sealed inside her photographs -

Joyous times of old

Smearing on lipstick

June smiles at her reflection,

Wishing to grow up now

Here are my attempts: 

 

 

Heading for the stars

I feel the silence of space

Wrapt in wondrous blue

Our ship seeks the stars

In our search for new life as

Our home planet fades

Speeding towards light

Sparkling blue cuts the darkness -

The premise of life

Light spreads before me

As my craft hurtles through space

What is drawing us?

Piercing light breaks forth

Splashing the darkness alight

Into the blue we fly

Here are my haiku:

Stick a shamrock in
Your Guinness this Paddy’s Day –
On the piss we go!

Devout Patron Saint
Of Ireland, how did you come
To be beer toasted?

From slave to bishop
We now toast Saint Patrick with
The toucan’s dark pint
