Poems About Love in School |

Definition of Teachers |
Astronauts Exploring The far reaches Of the universe Inside of students. |
Engineers Designing Spaceships, Strong enough To carry children, On their journey Through life. |
Scientists Studying The minds, And hopes, And dreams, Of the earth's Most precious resource. |
Ode to a Librarian |
As the heart of a school, The very soul, She transforms the pieces Into a whole. Hers is a most distinguished role, As the heart of a school, The very soul. |
Dancing on a Rainbow |
When my reading teacher Comes to get me For my special reading class I feel like Dancing on a rainbow. |
To me she is
a light in the darkness the twinkle of a star soft as a cottonball a true friend. |
When my reading teacher Comes to get me For my special reading class I know what it is like To dance on a rainbow! |
If You’re Not Here, Please Raise Your Hand Poems About School |
How You Live |
Who you are Speaks so loudly I cannot hear The lectures you give. |
But my heart, Hears the lessons You teach me, |
By how you live. |
A Teacher's Plea |
Listen to me when I say, I NEED MORE HOURS IN A DAY! |
Six little hours is not enough For all the work; it's much too tough! |
Spelling, writing, computers and math, Art, phys ed, and music class. |
For adding numbers, and taking scores, Checking assignments, There's always more! |
Listen to me when I say, I NEED MORE HOURS IN A DAY! |
 |
Poetry is Great! |
One,
Two, Three, Four, Come on kids, Let's give a roar! Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Poetry is Really great! |
I Called My Teacher Mommy |
I called my teacher Mommy What a silly thing I said! I called my teacher Mommy I have fluff Inside my head! I called my teacher Mommy Now my face Is apple red! |
Shaking at My Desk |
 |
The story that I'm writing Is as scary as can be, I'm shaking at my desk Because it's even scaring me. I'm afraid to finish it, I'm scared-to-death to see, What happens to the monster, |
Is he coming after me? |
Planet Earth |
Planet Earth One little planet, In a galaxy, A dot in the universe, But home For you and me. |
On the Day My Dog Died |
On the day, My dog died, I cried, And cried, And cried. |
 |
This is my Whole poem. |
There's nothing More to say. |
I cried, And cried, And cried, On the day, My dog died. |

I love to write poems that make you think.
I Cannot Get My Homework Done |
Unless I'm alone Or with someone, I cannot get My homework done. |
I love to write about simple things like book bags, lunches, recess, desks, erasers and pencils. Here is one of my favorite eraser/pencil poem.
The Pencil and Eraser Were in a Horrid Fight
|
The pencil and eraser Were in a horrid fight, It went on through the day And well into the night. |
The pencil wrote a poem About erasers that can't write, The eraser erased the poem, And he did it with delight. |
The pencil wrote a sign, Keep erasers out of sight, The eraser erased the sign, And he did it out of spite. |
The pencil wrote a note, "You're just a parasite!" The eraser erased the note, Not a word was left in sight. |
The pencil and eraser Fought all through the night, And when the morning came, They had disappeared from sight. |
I love to write about every room in the school. I’ve discovered that the bathroom has the best stories of all!
Meet Me in the Bathroom |
Meet me in the bathroom, Right at two o'clock, You leave your class, I'll leave mine, We'll have a chance to talk. |
Meet me in the bathroom, Fake a stomachache, You leave math, I'll leave art, We'll take a bathroom break. |
Meet me in the bathroom, I'll be waiting there for you, On the trash can, By the sink, At the dot of two. |
I love to write about the problems that students have in school. Here is a poem I wrote many years ago about one of my own students.
The Dawdler |
The teacher says I dawdle, And her words are very true; I never seem to finish All the work I'm meant to do. |
My spelling's incomplete, And my math is late again, She gave us twenty problems. But I only got to ten. |
Believe me when I tell you Life certainly seems unfair, When I feel like a turtle Struggling way behind the hares. |
The teacher says I dawdle, And her words are very true, But does she know how much I wish, I'd get the work done too? |
I love to write about tests, report cards, assignments and homework!
The Fight |
Homework and television Were in a fight, Homework lost the game Last night. |
The Score |
Television: | 180 minutes |
Homework: | 3 minutes |
I love to write puzzle poems. They are so much fun to write. See if you
can figure this one out.
I Turn Something Into Nothing |
I turn something Into nothing, I really really do, I'm a something Made for nothing, Oh, This precious fact Is true. |
If you need to change A something Into nothing For awhile, Then I'm the something That turns something Into nothing With a smile. |
So if you want Some nothing From the something That you write, I'm the something Filled with nothing That is what you want In sight. |
(Answer - Eraser) |
