Another collaborative poem written by Room 8 following the events of Arlo and the Orca, this poem expresses our feelings about sadness, walking in the shoes of Arlo and his mother, from the book Arlo and the Orca written by Monique Walker.
Sadness
Crying
Cold tears dripping down your face
Water and cold air
Crying
Tears running down your face
Like a cold gust of wind
You are no one
Tears dropping out of your eyes
Into the ocean
Salty tears
“Whuwhuwhu”
You’ve had enough
Crying salty tears and sweat
Bitter feeling of guilt,depression, and regret
Sadness in blue, a rainy day
