Global peace: Poetry snapshots

War

Chris

I see the dead on the ground,
I feel scared and fearful.
I smell the blood of the dead.
I hear the screams of the dying.
I taste the blood in my mouth.
I think this is madness:
MADNESS!

Peace is a family

Dahlia

I see myself crying for my Dad.
I smell the perfume he wears everyday.
I feel his warm hug and I feel peace.
I taste my tears drizzling down my face.

Now when I read this I cry.

But why?

Dear friends,
This poem is about my dad. Right now he is overseas and he has been there for five months. He is in a place called Kurdistan, which is part of Iraq. I cry because I miss him but I know he will return to Australia soon ..... I hope.

Peace!!

Jessica

I think of: happiness, no war, caring, always trying, sharing, joy. I feel: sad for people who don't live in peace. I smell: nature, flowers, trees. I taste: joy! I see: nature, happy people. I wonder: if any country can live in peace for a long time.

What peace means to me

Justin

Peace is love.
Peace is happiness.
Peace makes me safe.
Peace makes me love my family more.

Peace: think feel wonder

Kristen

Think: I think of joy, fun, colours, flowers, glitter, family and friends.
Feel: Quiet in the meadow. Relaxing with my family and friends. Filled with harmony and peace. Damp from the grass. A beautiful smell from the flowers and plants.
Wonder: Why do people litter and waste our land? Why do people kill animals in the world? Why can't people save water?

Peace and roses

Lena

I see - the brightness of the flower.
I hear - the peacefulness nearby.
I smell - the redness of the rose.
I taste - the wind blowing on the rose.
I feel - the softness.
I think - I should keep growing roses till I have a garden full of them.

Peace

Luke

I see people coming,
I hear birds singing,
I smell happiness,
I taste my hamburger.

I feel happy
I think we are going to be friends.

Peace snapshot

Mehmed

I see people playing with each other.
I hear people enjoying themselves,
And I hear the trees in the breeze and the birds chirping.
I taste enjoyment.
I feel the love and the happiness between people.
I think, what if everyone was like this?

I don't see war.

I don't hear rifles, tanks and the army.
I don't smell the tension of if they survive,
I don't smell the blood, sweat and tears.
I don't taste the smoke and the dust of grenades in the air.
I don't feel threatened by anyone.
I don't think there is anyone to threaten us.

Peace

Mohammed

I see people using the environment wisely and people shaking hands.
I hear the birds singing and people saying 'are you ok' to each other.
I smell the trees and the trust in people.
I taste the fresh fruits of the trees.
I feel the love from people and especially from my family.
I think of justice and how much people care about each other.

The hippy van

My-Hoang

Hippy van, you make me feel so peaceful
The colours, the flowers make me feel so sleepy.
We both love colours,
We both love flowers.
You eat vegies and fruit.
So do I.
I love to eat them.

Peace brings happiness

Natalie

I see people caring.
I hear people laughing.
I smell love and care.
I taste care and love.
I feel loved.
I think of happiness.

Peace!!

Sabrina

I think of joy!
I feel joyful!
I think of fun!
I feel like a flower!
I think of a rainbow!
I think of the flowers!
I think of my family!
I think of my friends!
I wonder at the joy of peace!

Peace

Salman

I see people around me caring.
I hear the peaceful wind coming towards me.
I smell the lovely flowers.
I taste the fresh air.
I feel the love of my family.
I think of how much people love each other.
