Short Poems

Like the petals of a flower

Or the heart warmth of giving

We should be so grateful

For the amazing gift of living!

Kind words are precious

And like a cherry sweet

its enough; just one or two

to give the heart a treat

They are just like angels

To love- they lead the way

No matter what situation

Just one can make your day

They work wonderfully

Turning a frown into a smile

Your words, believe it or not

Makes someone’s life worthwhile

Mitten weather when rainbows grow

And grass is green, fluorescent flowers flow

Robins sing and the wind likes to blow

Clouds perform, the sun shines through

Heavy rain finally replaces the snow

Courage Poem, Life's Own Battle:

Didn't want a battle,

Yet you declared war,

Each knock you gave me made me stronger than before,

I will not give up,

I will not give in,

You won't make me fall,

I won't let you win.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all.

Short Love Poems

I try not to let the grief, just overcome my day,

I'll blow a kiss to heaven and send it when I pray.

I'll ask God to free me now, from a world so blue,

To take me up to Paradise, so I can fly with you.

I'm waiting for the day you come, calling out my name,

Until then I'll be staring at, your picture in a frame.

You live in my heart,

i won't break it apart,

even if it makes me to cry,

i will love you till i die.

My love is not written on sand,

for the waters to wash away,

it is written in my heart to stand,

all the difficulty that comes its way.

The sound of your voice

The feel of your hand

They affect me in ways

You could never understand

The love in your heart

The peace in your eyes

They make me feel

Like I want to cry

You are a gift

That God gave to me

And I can just feel

That we are meant to be

I'll love you forever

I hope you do too

For it's only a short while

Before we say "I do"

Short Poems About Life

You had to go and that is understood.

Things just weren't right here for you.

The feeling you have given me

Has left me alone, standing alone.

I'm almost certain that you can see.

During your absence it has given me time

To think of ways I can escape this.

To run away from the pain.

Nothing ever seems to work

It's almost like a never ending rain.

With you there and me here standing alone

I worry for the day to come

The day when we are further apart

You won't be there in the coming year,

To help me through things, but you'll be in my heart.

There is also a fear of being detached,

Of being separate for so long.

We have progressed through the years.

The times we have shared merely brightened my day

And now all I can do is shed the tears.

The hurt that I am feeling right now,

I know that you can feel it inside.

But I want you to remember that once it's through,

You'll always be my big brother,

Someone whom I will forever look up to.

Memories of my youth.

Flood over my soul.

When I think of Grandma.

They make me feel whole.

Gathering at her house.

With all the family there.

We made lots of memories.

For all of us to share.

Lessons that she taught me.

Guide me thru the day.

If I listened closely.

I cannot go astray.

Love and commitment.

She drilled into me.

Making the person that I am.

Just who I want to be.

Grandma has many names.

Each one has their chosen.

But the names I want her called

Starts with love,

For she is warm and not frozen.

Short Poems For Kids

Be you to others kind and true,

As you'd have others be to you;

And neither do nor say to men

Whate'er you would not take again.

Once I found a cherry stone,

I put it in the ground,

And when I came to look at it,

A tiny shoot I found.

The shoot grew up and up each day,

And soon became a tree.

I picked the rosy cherries then,

And ate them for my tea.

What is pink? A rose is pink

By the fountain's brink.

What is red? A poppy's red

In its barley bed.

What is blue? The sky is blue

Where the clouds float through.

What is white? A swan is white

Sailing in the light.

What is yellow? Pears are yellow,

Rich and ripe and mellow.

What is green? The grass is green,

With small flowers between.

What is violet? Clouds are violet

In the summer twilight.

What is orange? Why, an orange,

Just an orange!

Short Love Poems For Her

The first time I saw you

I listened to my heart

I knew you were the one

From the very start

Just want you to know

From the bottom of my heart

You are my baby and my love

You are stealing my heart

When you smile

You make me smile

When you laugh

You make me laugh

How you make me love you

Never thought it would be true

wanting to hold you

I finally found you

When I look into your eyes

so pretty like beautiful starry skies

Let me love you

Baby I love you!

Short Love Poems For Him

When I found you

I found myself

I found a guy

Like no one else

When I found you

I found my heart

I found it struck

By love's dart

When I found you

I found my soul

I found your love

That made me whole

When I found you

I found my dreams

I found out what

Love really means

When I found you

I found a lot

I found true love

With the name ‘Stott’

Short Poems About Love

I never knew about happiness;

I didn’t think dreams came true;

I couldn’t believe in love,

Until I finally met you.

If I could have all the time in the world,

I know what I would do:

I’d spend the time

In pleasure sublime,

Just by being with you.

When all goes wrong, and my life runs amok,

I think of you, and I get unstuck;

In the midst of chaos, you make my heart sing;

You’re my peace, my happiness, my everything.

When life is cold,

I wrap myself in your warmth,

nestled in your love,

my perfect refuge.

I say a prayer of thanks each day

To the good Lord up above,

Thanks for the gift of you in my life,

For your deeply satisfying love.

Short Christmas Poems

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,

For loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away

Like bells and lights, in some box upon a shelf.

The good you do for others is good you do yourself.

Christmas gift suggestions:

To your enemy, forgiveness.

To an opponent, tolerance.

To a friend, your heart.

To a customer, service.

To all, charity.

To every child, a good example.

To yourself, respect.

I really want to tell you

Just how precious you are to me,

My every thought of you is as loving as can be

My heart is totally filled with things

That words alone can’t say,

This comes especially for you

With love on Christmas Day.

Short Friendship Poems

A friend wears a smile

When the world wears a frown.

A friend will lend a hand

To help when you’re down.

A friend knows when to listen

And when to give advice

A friend is there without condition

Any time, day or night.

A friend is what I’ll be,

Just as you’ve been to me.

Willing to listen

Always there

A heart that’s open

Kindness so rare.

Eager to help

Always sincere

How lucky am I

To find a friend so dear?

Wherever life takes me

Whatever hills I may climb

Or tumble down;

Whatever joy I feel

Or whatever makes me frown;

I’m so glad you are there to tag along;

To have a friend like you through it all

I’m really glad we’re friends.

Famous Short Poems

A sepal, petal, and a thorn

Upon a common summer's morn

A flask of Dew - A Bee or two

A Breeze - a caper in the trees

And I'm a Rose!

I got me flowers to straw Thy way,

I got me boughs off many a tree;

But Thou wast up by break of day,

And brought'st Thy sweets along with Thee.

Yet though my flowers be lost, they say

A heart can never come too late;

Teach it to sing Thy praise this day,

And then this day my life shall date.

Love does not claim possession,

but gives freedom.

Cherry-ripe, ripe, ripe, I cry,

Full and fair ones; come, and buy:

If so be you ask me where

They do grow? I answer, there

Where my Julia's lips do smile;--

There's the land, or cherry-isle;

Whose plantations fully show

All the year where cherries grow.
