Room 10 Writers

In Room 10 we have been working on Abstract Noun/Emotion poems.

Heartache is the neverending pitch black of the sky just before it gets ripped open by ghostly, lonley white lightning

Heartache is the bitter, sour of limes, spiteful , tragic and terrified\

Heartache is a tight rope wrapped around your heart squeezing until your a helpless, heartless sack of nothing

Heartache is the shattering of glass as it gets split into millions of tiny peices never to be put together again

Heartache is a lost soul tied down, not able to let go

Hearts are a glass cup, full or empty, broken, mended or exposed

By Issy

Hope is the colour of a bright white when it shines over the Earth.

Hope tastes like sweet honey dripping off the spoon in your hand.

Hope feels like a stepping stone for a greater and better life.

Hope sounds like the beautiful songs of birds flapping in the trees.

Hope smells like the colourful flowers blooming in a field.

Hope looks like a butterfly opening it's cacoon, spreading it's wings for the first time.

Hope is something everyone needs or you'll plummet into the endless void of despair. Marley

Fear

Fear is black like a deep dark void of nothingness in space.

Fear tastes like a piece of dry toast you try to force down.

Fear feels like a nightmare that never goes away.

Fear sounds like the loud shattering screams as someone wakes from a terrible nightmare.

Fear smells like sweat dripping uncontrollably down your forehead.

fear looks like hands clenched and body tense, Sweating from head to toe.

Envy

Envy is pale greeny teal

Envy taste like bitter unripe grape tingling your tongue

Envy looks like emerald thorny vine wrapping my heart as it crushes and pulls my heart down.

Envy sounds like whispered comparisions following my shadows as my heart beats louder than the echos behind me.

Envy feels like icy fingers wrapped my chest piercing through like needles. envy smells like sweet toffy suffocating my throat as i gasp for air

Envy is the worst feeling.

Depression is dark blue that twists and storms

Depression tastes like the tears that drizzle and dance from your face

Depression feels like your arms against your face, your eyes seeping into your knees

Depression sounds like a child crying after a loved one has passed away, their cries fill the room

Depression looks like the darkness of a room, entirely black and empty

Depression smells like smoke from a fire engulfing the room around it

Depression is a terrible feeling

by Cooper

Jealousy is green like poison ivy

Jealousy tastes like sour lemon tingling in your mouth

Jealousy feels like your body tense, fist clenched heart being torn into two

Jealousy sounds like people talking behind each others back

Jealousy looks like storming off, doors slamming

Jealousy smells like smoke wifting through the wind drifting everywhere uncontollably

Jealousy destroys friendships
