I asked Year 11 students at Wadonga West
to write five images for bad love - no explanations, just images.
They then picked their favourite and wrote a group bad love poem.
Bad Love
Have a whinge love
Late love
Playing empty cricket love
Empty bank account love
Peeling hands love
Bad breath in the morning love
Cold Monday love
Forgive me, for I have sinned love
Improper love
Dogs barking in the night love
Reject shop love
Look bu can't touch love
Broken string love
On the list love
The only love
Can't get enough love
Hateful words love
Like falling over painful love
Sand in your shoe love
One night love
Earn while you learn love
Hair raising nail biting love
Clean the kitchen love
Don't tell my father love
By: Brooke, Jamie, Shaun, Luke C., Dean,
Leigh, Aron, Michael, Mitchell, Luke G., Robert, Cindy, Danielle,
Kade, Sarah, Sian, Kerrina, Chris, Asheley, Tara, Sheree, Sarah,
Amanda and Kylie. Don't you love that last line - putting it all
into perspective! Brought back memories for me, of sneaking in to
the house a little later than I had promised!
Bad Love
Worried sick love
Love that's kept in the closet
Stain on your new pants love
Smelly locker room love
Pimple on first date love
Eating with mouth open love
Real emotional love
Stupid camera love
Love that tries to rule your life
Broken heart love
Spew your guts love
Bad timing love
Sick in the guts love
Trashed love
Stab in the back love
Copycat love
Lazy and unwilling love
No beer in the fridge love.
Year 11 Wadonga West
And another great last line - laconically adding a very Australian
voice to the whole poem.
Individual "bad love" poems
A couple of students handed me individual
"bad love" poems.
Love
Bad timing love
Too busy love
Hatred of love
Annoying people love
Drunken hangover love
Rainy day love
Broken zipper love
Failed exam love
Embarrasing love
yearning love
Falling over love
Kick in the teeth love
Closed off love
Worrying about love
Not loving love
Ben Townsend, Year 11, V5 - Wadonga West
College. Ben's images of bad love were terrific - his images create
a litany of bad loves and the last line is an apt conclusion.

A Poem
Today is a soft and fluffy yellow
A church bell ringing
The word sunshine
The Macarena dance
Today I flew through the day
A Poem
Today I flew under a house
Dreaming of the way boats drift and play
Away from winter grumps and into life
And I was part of the world turning and spinning
I could hear the noise of the breathing soft and gentle
And everything around me paused.
Colours of the Rainbow
Lauren, Olivia, Sarah, Chelsey.
My Baby Blue Day
Today is Baby Blue
And the day is young and free
The winds call is like the strumming of a harp
I feel like waltzing to the sound of the wind
Today I soared through the day
Dancing Under A Rainbow
Today I danced under a rainbow
Dreaming of the way colours drift and sway
Away from winter grumps and into happiness
And I was part of the sun turning and swirling
I could hear the noise of the birds soft and gentle
And everything around me drifted
Gchee
Elizabeth C, Gabrielle B, Hannah M, Emily B, Caitlin S.
Bad Day
Today is a slimy green
With angry drums
The word nerds
Dancing the nutcake
Today I punched through the day
Mixed Up
Today I swam under a wave
Dreaming of the way batman’s drift and fly
Away from winter grumps and into spring
And I was part of the petal turning and spinning
I could hear the noise of the catwomen soft and purring
And everything around me scared
