Mental Health Plus Relaxation Day at Peatfields

Here's my version of the 'If this person was...' poem.

If this person was a colour,
He would be earthy greens and browns
And white as pure as cotton;
If an animal, he would be
A tiger with the character of a lamb;
If he was a flower,
He would be a sunflower,
Tall and straight;
If a drink, a cup of tea seems obvious:
Darjeeling, perhaps;
If he were weather,
Sun warming the skin;
If music, a sitar
Gently plucked in a moonlit night;
But if a time of day
He would be the dawn,
Full of hope and radiant light;
And if he could speak to you
He would say with absolute truth
That he was pleased to meet you.

Though here's someone else I had in mind, so well done if you thought it was him!

Mental Health Plus Relaxation Day At Peatfields

If this person was a colour
she would be blue.
If this person was a hat
she would be a flowery one.
If this person was an animal
she would be a lioness.
If this person was a drink
she would be a nice cup of tea.
If this person was a plant
she would be a damask rose.
If this person was weather
she would be sunshine after rain.
If this person was music
she would be Elgar.
If this person was a film
she would be Casino Royale.
If this person was a car
she would be a Rolls Royce.
If this person spoke to us
she would say “How nice to see you”.

Can you guess who it is, yet?

This unusual poem was created by the many service users who attended the Relaxation Day at Peatfields back in June, under the guidance of Congleton Poet John Lindley. He was Cheshire’s Poet Laureate in 2004 and took the time to give us an entertaining workshop, during which many other good poems were created.
