Poetry in Mr Wallace's Writing Workshop.

WALT: Find out about a different type of poem. Then I have created on of my own.

I wrote an Emotion Poem. 
An emotion poem is used to describe various emotions, good or bad, using descriptive language.
There are 2 formats of emotion poems.
I chose to do format 2.

Format 1: 
Line 1: State the emotion
Line 2: Describe the emotion as a colour
Line 3: It happens when... 
Line 4: It sounds like... 
Line 5: And smells like... 
Line 6: Restate the emotion

Format 2:
Line 1: State the emotion 
Line 2: It smells like... 
Line 3: It tastes like... 
Line 4: It sounds like... 
Line 5: It feels like... 
Line 6: It looks like... 
Line 7: (Emotion) is...

Here is my example of an emotion poem.

Happiness
It smells like a fresh spring meadow in the daylight glow.
It tastes like ice-blocks in the warm sun.
It sounds like birds chirping on a bright spring morning.
It feels like splashing in the warm sunny bay
It looks like a warm bright sundown.
Happiness is the secret to all beauty.
By Maddison M
