Fatima R.

When I feel happy
I jump as high as a bunny.
And like a happy puppy.
When I feel sad
I feel like a rainy cloud.
And I feel like a sad plant.
When I feel excited
I feel like I am a volcano that is going to explode.
When I feel mad
I feel like going on my phone to see tik tok.
When I feel love
I feel like drawing hearts.

Ulysses R.

When I feel amazed
I jump up and down
When I feel sad
I’m crying like clouds raining in the sky
When I feel fullest
I get an A+ on my poetry test
When I feel mad
I burn up like a raging fire
When I feel excited
I fly high in the sky.

Chelsea A.

When I feel confident
I jump with confidence
I scream with happiness
When my team won in volleyball
this was good
I sing like birds in the sky
When I feel mad
I feel like fire burning up
I listen to my music
My brain starts jumping with madness
When I’m confident
My smile is 10x brighter than the sun.

Ariana A.

When I feel happy,
I jump around like a happy rabbit
I hear kittens dancing
with my favorite music.
I wish for more hugs like a bear
a night in bed like soft clouds in the sky.
When I feel sad,
I hear singing birds
I feel wet like a rainy day
I wish for more fun
like a sad bear
I need a hug like a cozy baby bear.
Sad and happy are my friends.

Isaly R.

When I feel happy
I think of puppies
I feel like a rocket ship
I jump up and down
I smile so big I can’t see where I’m going
I feel like I’m famous
I feel like I’m in a house of puppies
I feel like I’m on top of the world
I feel like a puppy
I feel like I am Olaf
I sing bad guy in my head
I high five people I see

Melany F.

When I feel excited
I feel like a firecracker
I feel like a rabbit jumping up and down
I feel like my heart is full of chocolate
I feel like a silly goose
I hear happy violins
I feel like a happy cloud
When I feel upset
I feel like a cloud started to rain on me
I feel like a trunk from a tree just got cut off
