What is joy? What is grief?
Creative Writing
What is trust?
What is awe?

Happiness is the colour of poppies in spring.
It tastes like Rocky Road ice cream,
and it smells like spring blossom.
Happiness sounds like the singing of a hippo in the water.
It looks like the wide open sky,
and it makes me dance samba.
Rage is the colour of black and red devils.
It tastes like a bitter lemon.
It smells like death,
and it looks like the darkest night.
Rage sounds like thunder,
and it makes me feel devastated.
