When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

- by John Greenleaf Whittier

My poem is a quote from “A Tribute to Tyrone”, by Kily Dunbar, I liked this poem because it expresses that the past is the past. Here it is: A thousand words won’t bring you back, I know because I’ve tried, Niether will a thousand tear, I know because I’ve cried. This poem could be motivational for someone who lost a loved one.

The title of this poem was,  Sad Poems about Love. This poem tells us about if things don’t go right you get sadness and you still need it and their is happiness in your heart for an important reason. This is my poem: How can there be pain in a place where there is so much joy? A loving relationship is the most awesome experience in the world. This is why it also holds the potential for so much sadness. There are so many things that can go wrong. We must remember, "Better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all." If we have this attitude we can hold ourselves together during the hard times and rejoice that we have this awesome gift during the good times.

SIMPLE PLAN By:Irwin Mercer

Simple Sam was a simple man.

He lived each day by a simple plan.

Enjoy your life and live while you can.

Make each day count and take a stand.

Stand on the left or stand on the right,

Whichever one you think is right.

Live each day as if your last.

Life's too short and gone too fast.

“ There’s not a cloud today
Just a sky of blue
As the sun shines bright
It feels so new
As you walk down the street
You can see smiles from all around
It looks like everyone
Came to town
To enjoy the summer’s day
And let time sit still
Just For a while “

It is about life and death and the circle of life. It talks about how you have to enjoy life before it comes to an end. I like this poem because it is very meaningful and sad.

Regret is a rock,
Something always there.
We pretend it’s gone,
But its weight we share.

It sometimes pulls down,
It sometimes makes us cry.
It’s always hiding in our mind.
One thing that never dies.

We try to discard it,
We skip, we ignore, and we throw.
But as a rock is indestructible,
Regret will always show.

Luckily we can learn from then,
Like rocks in river beds.
Over time they slowly fade,
And become sand instead.

Dentist and the Crocodile by Roald Dahl

The crocodile, with cunning smile, sat in the dentist's chair.

He said, "Right here and everywhere my teeth require repair."

The dentist's face was turning white. He quivered, quaked and shook.

He muttered, "I suppose I'm going to have to take a look.""I want you," Crocodile declared, "to do the back ones first.

The molars at the very back are easily the worst."

He opened wide his massive jaws. It was a fearsome sight––

At least three hundred pointed teeth, all sharp and shining white.

The dentist kept himself well clear. He stood two yards away.

He chose the longest probe he had to search out the decay.

"I said to do the back ones first!" the Crocodile called out.

"You're much too far away, dear sir, to see what you're about.

To do the back ones properly you've got to put your head

Deep down inside my great big mouth," the grinning Crocky said.

The poor old dentist wrung his hands and, weeping in despair,

He cried, "No no! I see them all extremely well from here!"

Just then, in burst a lady, in her hands a golden chain.

She cried, "Oh Croc, you naughty boy, you're playing tricks again!"

"Watch out!" the dentist shrieked and started climbing up the wall.

"He's after me! He's after you! He's going to eat us all!"

"Don't be a twit," the lady said, and flashed a gorgeous smile.

"He's harmless. He's my little pet, my lovely crocodile."

I chose the poem, the Crocodile and the Dentist, by Roald Dahl. I chose this poem since it was really funny. Basically, a crocodile is trying to trick a dentist to put his hands in its mouth. The crocodiles owner then comes in and makes things awkward. I didn’t know anything about this poem before I searched for funny poems for kids. I chose it because it’s human makes it stand out.

Nyesha

The poem How Many, How Much it asks questions that you can't answer. The questions the author of the poem included depends on your own actions. I like this poem because there is not a straightaway answer it will always depend on your actions.

This is the poem:

" How many slams in an old screen door?
Depends how loud you shut it.
How many slices in a bread?
Depends on how thin you cut it.
How much good inside a day?
Depends how good you live 'em.
How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em."

If i could only see the scale,

I’m sure that it would state

That I’ve lost ounces . . . Maybe pounds

Or even tons of weight.

“You’d better eat some pancakes—

You’re skinny as a rail”

I’m sure that’s what the scale would say . . .

If i could see the scale.

I like this poem because it’s talks about how you shouldn’t let things bring you down because you can make a bad situation good.

A man named Ray Punzel

Was feeling quite sour

Because he'd locked himself in

The top room of his tower

With no electricity

And no form of power

Not so much as a mirror

A sink or a shower

And he was there for much longer

Than minutes and hours

Poor old Ray Punzel

Lived all alone

Far away from anyone

He did not have a phone

And after a day

He started to moan

To a bird who had perched

On his windowsill of stone

The bird watched his beard grow

While he grumbled and groaned

For many long years

He felt hunger and pain

The bird brought him worms

And when it rained he drank rain

His waistline receded

And he went quite insane

While his beard kept on growing

To the length of a train

But a plan to save Ray

Had formed inside the bird's brain

The bird disappeared

For almost a week

Which made Ray more sad

More hopeless and bleak

But to his surprise

When he was feeling most weak

A noise came to his ears -

He heard someone speak!

And Ray was so happy

A tear ran down his cheek

Outside in the distance

A man had appeared

With the bird on his shoulder

Ray's window he neared

“Ray Punzel, Ray Punzel

Let down your long beard

A little bird tells me

You've been stuck there for years”

If Ray hadn't forgotten how

He would have cheered

Ray gathered his beard

Which now filled his lair

He threw it out of the window

And it fell through the air

It hit the ground with a thud

And made the mystery man stare

Who then climbed up Ray's whiskers

Instead of using the stairs

He was shocked when he saw

Ray's room was so bare

The bird he had found

A locksmith by trade

Who opened Ray's door

Which was sturdily made

And Ray ran down the stairs

And into the glade

And as he jumped up for joy

His good mood did fade

Because a key

Fell right out of

His pocket.

I enjoyed this poem because it was funny and showed how powerful a friend could be in a strange situation like this. The poem is about a guy named Ray Punzel who escapes a tower thanks to a friend

One Life, is emphasizing the importance of everything. One of anything and everything can change something in the world and one life, can make a big difference. ONE thing can change plenty of things in life. I enjoyed this poem because it showed the meaning of every single life in this world

One Life
By: Anonymous

One SONG can spark a moment

One FLOWER can wake the dream

One TREE can start a forest

One BIRD can herald spring

One SMILE begins a friendship

One HANDCLASP lifts a soul

One STAR can guide a ship at sea

One WORD can frame a goal

One VOTE can change a nation

One SUNBEAM lights a room

One CANDLE wipes out darkness

One LAUGH will conquer gloom

One STEP must start a journey

One WORD must start a prayer

One HOPE will raise our spirits

One TOUCH can show you care

One VOICE can speak with wisdom

One HEART can know what is true

One LIFE can make a difference

This poem is about not giving up even though life throws problems at you. It says that if you kept on trying, you could have succeeded, even if not first, you could have finished. If you fall, you get up. If you doubt yourself, keep on going. Persevere and do your best, and NEVER GIVE UP!

Don’t Quit

By Anonymous

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And when you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest! If you must; but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow,

You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor’s cup

And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems a afar;

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit;

It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit

In this poem, the poet, Emily Dickinson referred to hope as a bird. She said that she was in terrible conditions, in the middle of a storm. Even in these sad conditions, the bird never asked for a crumb from her. This symbolizes that hope is never greedy, and is a companion that she will cherish forever. I chose this poem because it shows how much hope can do, and shows that hope isn’t greedy. (This is Jenny’s)

The poem is about a very strong person that enjoys carrying elephants, but he isn’t he strongest of his family because whilst he carries his elephant, his grandmother carries him. This poem symbolizes a person with hardships, and a wiser person that can help him. I picked this poem because although the literal definition is funny, but this poem has a pretty helpful message that you could use when you are working with other people

I am Super Samson Simpson,

I’m superlatively strong,

I like to carry elephants,

I do it all day long,

I pick up half a dozen

and hoist them in the air,

it’s really somewhat simple,

for I have strength to spare.

My muscles are enormous,

they bulge from top to toe,

and when I carry elephants,

they ripple to and fro,

but I am not the strongest

in the Simpson family,

for when I carry elephants,

my grandma carries me.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away...

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away...

I like this poem because in here there is a mystory about an impossible man. And the boy does not understand what is going on.
I chooses this poem bacause it is cool
