Feeling+Poetry


 * Feeling Poetry**
 * What color are your feelings? Let's explore the idea and write some amazing poetry like this:

Cantankerous is red like the mercury in thermometers on a really hot day and also like the Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, on a rivalry game day. It rushes through my mind like a rushing waterfall in the Niagara Falls. It reminds me of the time I got out in a baseball game when I hit the ball all the way to the fence. It makes me feel angry at myself like I always do nothing right, especially when it matters. It makes me want to turn my pillow inside out by punching it. >> By Grayson F. >> (NPHS Class of 2014) >> **More ideas...** > **Peace is white like a single snowflake** ** Drifting to the ground... **

** Boredom is gray like a dull day. ** ** It sits on a shelf ** ** Like a can of cat food waiting ** ** To be bought. **

>> ** Anger is red like tomato soup ** ** Bubbling over on the stove... **
