I didn’t see, I didn’t say
I thought it would all be okay

I look like you you look like me
something you won’t believe
what did you say

what made you smile
I made you smile
a smile we made to save this too
it’s what I do

I just want to know
where we’re going
if there’s anywhere to go

and I’m sorry if I wasn’t
even watching
when you told me so

I will be all right
eventually

and you’ll still be too tight
to hold onto me

Here are a few different examples of ways this poem title could be used:

An alcoholic to a drink
A student to a teacher
A gardener to a dandelion
A sugar cube to an ant
A child to a parent
A friend to another friend
A poem to an ex

Really, the possibilities are endless on this. You can use it as an exercise to release some pent up anger, or use some creativity and see if you can twist it into a non-hating poem.

Here’s some of our examples you can use for inspiration:

Smoking

I need you
the minute I put you out
I want you
every time you’re not around
You make me feel old
You alienate me from my friends
I don’t want to kiss anyone
after I’ve had you
You taste too smooth
You cost too much
You pollute the air
and blacken my lungs
I’m addicted to you.

You’re a Jerk

Let me be
blatantly honest here
I don’t like you
and I probably never will

And since I don’t like you
and probably never will
I guess I owe it to you
to at least tell you why

You’re a jerk
You’re a jerk
You’re a jerk
1, 2, 3, how easy this is, see?
You’re a jerk
You’re a jerk
You’re a jerk
4, 5, 6
You’re a jerk
You’re a jerk
You’re a jerk
7, 8, 9
You’re a jerk, a jerk, you’re a jerk
You’re a really big jerk

So now you know why I don’t like you
and probably never will

Inner Coward

1. You’re quite the eloquent type
who always knows
the right thing to say
2. And you use this to your advantage
3. You take everything for granted

4. You have a narrow perspective
5. A skewed view on life that’s defective
6. It doesn’t take a detective
to see you clearly think
this globe spins for you

7. You are not a man
8. but a boy in a big guy body
9. too insecure to be yourself
10. So you hide and try to control

Now that you’ve read our few examples, it is your turn to try this writing exercise and let us know what kind of poem you get! We’d love to see your 10 Things I Hate About You poems shared with us in the comments section below!

One of our favorites is called Momisms: The Things Moms Say, which is pretty funny and cute and sentimental as well. This poem goes on to list many of the phrases that all moms say, such as “Go pick up your room” or “don’t jump on the bed”. Really, it’s sweet, and funny, go read it!

It can be tough to be funny sometimes without being offensive, so it’s important to make sure that whatever you write is something that your mother will really like and not take the wrong way! The last thing you would want to do is upset your mom on Mother’s Day!

Thanks Mom

Happy Mother’s Day Mom!
Today I’d like to take the time
and thank you for all the great things
you’ve done!

Thank you
for cleaning off the walls
when I would draw on them all

Thank you mom
for telling me
not to pick my nose.
Thank you mom,
for always washing all my clothes.

And thank you mom,
for those times
you drove me everywhere
and all the Christmases
when you gave me underwear.

Thanks for the advice
to always wear sunscreen
and thanks for teaching me
how to scrub a pot clean.

I might not have told you
all those things back then,
I might not have realized
someday it would be for my own good
so I want to make it understood:
I LOVE YOU!
Happy Mother’s Day!

Mom Knows Everything

Mom knows everything,
how long to boil an egg,
how to kiss a boo boo on your leg
they know how to see you
from another room
they know how to dust off
cobwebs with a broom
Moms know how to make you laugh
and they know how to
stop you from being sad
mom’s know what things
will poke your eyes out
always looking out
to make sure you’re safe
Mom’s are the best
at knowing everything!

The Statue of Liberty is a national monument in the United States that for many people symbolizes many different things. It is located on an island near New York City, and was a gift from France as a symbol of freedom and democracy.

One of the most famous poems about the statue of Liberty is the one by Emma Lazarus, titled The New Colossus and speaks of how the torch can open the door for those who are tired and poor, most likely related to how when immigrants came to America for the first time they saw the statue first as their welcoming beacon.

Today, the statue remains to be a very popular area attraction and a piece of history. For that reason, we’ve decided to create a few of our own Statue of Liberty poems, and encourage you to try writing one of your own as well!

Liberty

Liberty stands on an
Island, of hope and pride
Beckoning all who are
Eager to
Revolve in
The future and
Yearning

Green Woman

Green woman,
with her torch
and crown
proclaims
freedom to people
and hope to the world
bearer of light
cloaked in peace

From Over Here

From over here,
I see her
and she calls
offering a promise
of freedom and liberty.

Stand Proud

You, you can stand proud
you can hold your head up high
you can boast
and show your pride
your achievement
your accomplishment
And smile
letting your torch
light the way

Freedom Refuge

To find refuge,
seeking freedom
seeking opportunity,
one must not look
very far –
there is hope
abundant
through the gentle eyes
the lovely face
and all her grace
she proclaims
liberty to all.

The Meaning of Liberty

What is the meaning of liberty? Many people will ask
yet few will ever know
There is much hope
and opportunity -
but without liberty one cannot find it,
one cannot live and breathe it.
With liberty, all things are possible
the end of persecution
the invention of ideals
the blossoms of love
the companionship of banding
With liberty,
we can climb the mountain tops
we can scale the sea
we can
just be.

Some Bunny Loves You

There is a little bunny
who likes to wrinkle up his nose
and nibble on grass everywhere he goes

A little bunny
with long ears that flop
and who likes to hop

This little bunny
has something to say
that I think will make your day.

Some bunny loves you
and that bunny is me!

God’s Handyman

The world was in need of repair

to God sent down his handyman

to show some love and care

He gave us a man

who was strong and tough

and equipped with all the tools

of wisdom, compassion, and love

God sent him here not to just fix things

but to build them, too

Friendships, Homes…there was nothing

he couldn’t do!

God blessed us with his handyman

and miss him much we will

but it comforts us in knowing

He can help in heaven still.

Always Remember

Let us forget this grief

but remember the joy of your life

how you always gracefully

handled all the strife

You were strong

and compassionate

And kind and

full of love

And we will always remember that

when we feel you

smiling from above

We may miss you

for eternity

but the lifetime that you’ve had

has taught us so much, Dad

Forever you will be

in our hearts

And nothing will keep

your love for us apart.

Daddy’s Home

Home is where the heart is

and the heart is always home

And while you’re not with us

we feel your spirit roam

It’s presence is in everything

from the rising sun

and in the birds who sing

reminding us that love

surrounds us everywhere

So while you’re not here

on earth, we know you have found the place

where everything is filled with love and grace.

And in heaven, they rejoice

Daddy’s Home, Daddy’s Home!

Eternity Dream

You make my heart
get a head start
to the finish line
of this dream of mine
of you and me
for eternity

Floating

I am floating
I’m not gloating
you make me feel
so very unreal
up in the air
bounce without care
weightless and free
when you say you love me

Surround Me

Surround me
your arms
around me
Surround me
I breathe you in
I breathe you in

Why I Love You

Those little things you
do, like whisper in my ear
are why I love you

Kiss Twist

One short sweet kiss
leaves the taste of your lips:
a kiss twist

Two Hearts Beat

When two hearts beat
you and I complete
tingling in my feet
whenever our two hearts great

Love River

It’s a love river
makes you quiver
so strong
and long
flowing beautiful
rushing until full

A Few Words Why

Honey I’d like to share with you
a few words why I love you…
From your lovely face
to your purest grace
Those beautiful eyes
You are a sweet surprise
greeting me every day
I just wanted to say
these few words why
my heart can fly
when I’m with you
I love you

A Love Begun

A love begun
with one plus one
is what starts
the joining of hearts

Polished Stones

Take the rough
soften the tough
shine enough
like a polished stone
is love alone

Dancing Together

Dancing together
how could you forget her
with grace so sweet
on her sailing feet
across the floor
you adore

We hope you enjoy our short rhyming love poems!

100 Reasons Why I Love You

I love the way you laugh (that’s one)
I love the way you smile (there’s two)
I could go on all night long
giving you all the reasons I love you

You always listen to what I have to say
you always know what to do to brighten up my day
I like the way you kiss me on my cheek
I like the way your hair is so sleek

I love the way you tilt your head just so
as if there is something I’m supposed to know

Then there’s the way you think of me
before you think of yourself
and the way you organized
all the sweaters on my shelf

I love the way you write me notes
and hide them for me to find
I love the way it seems like you always
know what’s going on in my mind

You are always polite
with pleases and thank yous
And this poem of 100 reasons
is a way to say you’re welcome to you

You never seem to get distressed
Even when you are really stressed

I love how you think to the future
and how you’re filled with hope
I love how no matter what the
situation is, you always know how to cope

I love the way you
eat your salad
I love the way you
eat a hamburger

I also love that
you always remember
the good times
and you can always plan ahead

Now we’re at 21 reasons, can you believe it already?
I haven’t even mentioned yet
how much i love your spaghetti!

I love your charm, I love your wit
I love how you stand and sit
I love you when you’re sleeping
I love you when you’re dreaming
every minute of every day
I can’t even tell you how much
I love it when you say
you love me too

I love how you get along
with everybody
you even somehow
get along with my family

I love it how you know
how to fix things
How you know to make
everything all right
I love how you steal the covers
in the middle of the night

It’s your trust,
your honesty
your loyalty and more
can you believe I’m now at reason #54?

I love the way you
know everything
i love that you can name the 23rd president of the United States
(what’s his name again?)
And I love how you wash the plates

I love those little dimples
and the sparkles in your eyes
I love the way you smell
and even when you cry

It’s the way you always share
the way you always care
The way you bring inspiration
and your compassion

I love your crreative thinking
your artistic side
the way you do things the way you see right
and how you do not judge
or ever criticize

I could go on all night
with a million reasons here
but I can sum them up with
just one little word:
EVERYTHING!
I love everything about you!

Death and dying is always a sensitive subject for many. It is never easy to truly express your condolences. Some people are afraid to talk about it to someone who is grieving, and often the grieving person may not even know what to do and say or how to react. That is why it is important to really take a lot of consideration into what you write or say to someone. You don’t want to seem insensitive or cliched, nor would you want to seem like your sympathy is not genuine or insincere.

Below are some of our examples of sympathy poems:

Swiss Cheese Heart

The heart is like a piece of Swiss Cheese
And although it aches
it never breaks from the hole that is left
when you lose someone
