I am…… over the moon
under a cloud
on top of the world
kinda blue
walking on air
happy as the cat who got the cream
like a bear with a sore head
broken-hearted
cheesed off
bored to tears
like a fish out of water
like a cat on hot bricks
a bit hot under the collar
pleased as Punch
on tenterhooks
out of sorts
high as a kite
spitting feathers
I have butterflies in my tummy
a shiver up my spine
my nose out of joint
ants in my pants
I am white as a sheet; green with envy; seeing red; purple with rage; tickled pink.
I couldn’t give a hoot; I got out of bed the wrong side; I am feeling very small; she is too big for her boots;
How are you feeling today? Make your own list of things we say to describe how we feel.
Choose one of the saying as the beginning of a story or a poem. What does it mean to be over the moon, kinda blue, spitting feathers? Let your story show those feelings. Or write a story where the saying really happens -you, or your characters, really do fly as high as a kite, or walk in air, or have ants in their pants ……
