Seasoning the Seasons | Art Works - Children's Hospital

Location: E Floor, QMC

Young people at the hospital youth club wrote lines of poetry using different flavours to describe the changing seasons. They wrote on masking tape so that the different lines could then be moved around and combined in different ways.

 

Spring is sharp like cherries

Summer is sweet like strawberries

Autumn is salty like soy sauce

Winter is sour like vinegar

 

British spring is sharp like ghost pepper

Our summer is sweet like ice cream – a 99’ with a flake in

Autumn has warmth like a chilli

And winter is bitter like dark chocolate

 

Spring is tingly like pickled gherkins

Summer is sweet like cherries

Autumn is salty like a pumpkin stew

Winter is dull like tahini

 

Spring is crunchy like Cheerios

Summer is bright as a torch

Autumn is spooky like Halloween

Winter is harsh like taki snacks

The weekly youth club is open to all young people aged 12-18 who have regular treatment in the hospital and offers a positive community for fun and shared experience.
