Another collaborative poem from Room 8. As a follow on from ‘Arlo and the Orca’ we looked at the word happiness and what it looked like, felt like, sounded like, smelt like and tasted like. It was created as a write and roll handed around the class.
Happiness
Sounds like laughing
Feels like fun
Like a pure and happy life
Refreshing, clear, sweet
Cheerful laughter on a sunny day
Doing things you like
Smells like a strong sweet flower
Like, YAY, WOOHOO!
Joy in your heart
A Large grin
Birthday cakes
Laughter
Like summer
Happiness is about being who you are and having fun with friends and family
And our poem for Sadness…. once again from the feeling Arlo had when Mum wouldn’t share her pain…
Sadness
Crying
Cold tears dripping on your face
Water and cold air
Crying
Tears running down your face
Like a cold gust of wind
You’re no one
Tears dropping out of your eyes
Into the ocean
Salty tears
Hu hu hu hu hu hu
You’ve had enough
Crying salty tears and sweat
Bitter feeling of guilt, depression and regret
Sadness is blue, a rainy day
