Feelings Poem by Penny 
Happiness sounds like the shrill laughter of a child being spun around by their parent. 
It sounds like leisurely chatter in a school yard. 
It sounds like birds' unique songs as you sit in the morning sun. 
 
Resentment looks like a protest on the side of a road. 
Resentment looks like the dark orange of the sky at sunset. 
Resentment looks like someone's happy expression after telling me they got the part in the musical I wanted. 
 
Anger tastes like the sourness of a lemon 
Anger tastes like the bitter bite that sits in your mouth when you're hungry. 
Anger tastes like a particularly flavourless cucumber your mom packed you for lunch. 
 
Fear smells like thick smoke blowing into your face.  
Fear smells like sulfur. 
Fear smells like the acrid tang of gasoline. 
 
Silliness feels like the warmth of your blanket, 
Silliness feels like the softness of a bathroom rug. 
Silliness feels like the tingles tha shoot down your spine when someone compliments you.
