Happiness is a bright color It sounds like laughter It feels like you won a million dollars It smells like something good is cooking It tastes like waffles with peanut butter Anger is a bright red It sounds like a volcano erupting It feels like a day sitting in a prison It smells like steam coming off the stove It tastes like something rotten you’ve eaten **(Suzanah Wilson)** ||
 * Happiness
 * (Suzanah Wilson) ** || Anger
 * ** LOVE **


 * Love is blind **
 * It sounds like the thunder before the storm **
 * It feels like the earth after the first rain **
 * It smells like red roses **
 * It tastes like saccharine strawberries **
 * It lives everywhere **
 * (By: Ashley Brosig) ** || ** ANGER **


 * Anger is a red flame burning brightly against a black sky **
 * It smells like the ashes of a stale ashtray **
 * It tastes like dry and bitter herbs **
 * It sounds like drums pounding in my temples **
 * It feels like a steel band around my chest, tightening, stopping my breath. **
 * It looks like the steely stare of a sturgeon. **
