Perception Poem

Position: Exercise is important for good mental health.

My world is gray and lifeless.

Miserable day.
Heavy sky.
Suffocating clouds.
Invisible sun.
Soggy air.

Dull mind.
Boring subjects.
Lethargic movement through the
Dim school halls.

Flow, Stroke, Kick, Pull, Flow
!

Sparkling water.

Back home to hit the books.

Animated movement through the
Illuminated rooms.
Exciting subjects.
Enlivened mind.

Refreshing air.
Cheerful sun.
Billowing clouds.
Bright blue sky.
Wonderful day.

My world is golden and shining.
