Emotions poems

We have been writing poems in Room 7 and we wrote some poems about emotions last week. 

Joy

Joy is bright purple

And smells like fresh tulips and daisies.

It looks like people with smiles on their faces.

Joy sounds like giggles and laughter.

Joy is perfect. - Jessica

Happiness

Happiness is bright pink.

Happiness smells like a freshly mown lawn

and looks like a field of flowers.

Happiness sounds like newborn lambs

and happiness makes me happy - Hamish

Fear

It is black.

Fear tastes like dust and mud

and smells like fish guts.

Fear looks like a deep dark cave

and sounds like screams.

Fear is panic and shrieks. - Jay

Fear

Fear is brown.

Fear tastes like blood

and smells like rotting flesh.

Fear looks like girls running away.

Fear sounds like footsteps in the dark

Fear feels like horror. Max

Sadness

Sadness is blue

It tastes like water

and smells like wet dog.

Sadness looks like dead pets.

Sadness sounds like scuffing feet

Sadness feels like broken hearts. - Lucie

Happiness

Happiness is the colour yellow.

Happiness tastes like strawberries

ans smells like new perfume.

Happiness looks like kids playing in the play ground

Happiness sounds like me giggling.

Happiness if FUN! - Lucy S

Happiness

Happiness is red,

and smells like flowers.

Happiness looks like kids running around.

Happiness sounds like people laughing.

Happiness is fun. - Paris

Love

Love is pink

Love tastes like lollies

Love smells like roses

Love looks like kissies

Loves sounds like laughing

Love makes my heart beat. - Rubie

LOVE

Love is magenta

It tastes like an expensive bottle of champagne.

It smells like scattered rose petals.

It looks like a mysterious bouquet of flowers.

It sounds like a couple laughing all around you.

It warms my heart. - Lucy W

FEAR

Fear is black ,

It tastes like old mouldy fruit,

It smells like  an old damp sewer,

It looks like a man with no face,

It sounds like your scream echoing,

Heart pumping...Feeling faint…

              AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!! - Lee

Sadness

Sadness is blue.

Sadness tastes like soggy toast.

Sadness smells like salty tears.

Sadness looks like broken love hearts.

Sadness sounds like a sad lonely voice.

Sadness hurts you. - Emma

Happiness

happiness is bright rainbow colours,

happiness tastes like warm cookies,

happiness smells like blossoms,

and looks like billions of new flowers,

it sounds like laughter and music,

happiness is warm. - Rylee
