 Teacher Poems In our classroom, shining bright You were always our guiding light For your wisdom, patience and other stuff The words, “Thank you" don’t seem to be enough And now this year has passed all too soon You were always the ‘Queen’ of our classroom Helping us to understand With teaching lessons all so grand Though the chalkboards have gone, they’ve been replaced By computers, laptops and other interface You were always on top of your game Even though your jokes were oft lame And, so, it’s finally time to say goodbye I breathe an audible sigh As I pass out of your ranks, I say a well deserved thanks ~~~###~~~ In preschool rooms with smiles and frowns You wore the essential creativity crown In this world of craft and finger paints You always had the patience of Saints You always told us to have a healthy lunch To stop us from being a surly bunch So, at lunch after we’d open our box We’d get in the sand pit without shoes and socks In this room of alphabet songs and endless l

  Sympathy Poems In sympathy for loss, we weep and sigh, With heavy hearts and tearful eye, But sometimes humour’s the best reply, To cope with loss, we'll give it a try. At funerals, we wear our black attire, And speak in hushed tones, to quell the mire, But once the eulogies start to tire, Someone's stomach growls, like a hungry choir! We reminisce about the days gone by, Sharing tales of the one who said goodbye, Yet sometimes, it's laughter, not a cry, That eases pain and helps hearts to fly. In sympathy for loss, we may feel blue, But humour helps us see it through, For life's a mix of joy and rue, And laughter can heal, that much is true. ~~~###~~~ As I sit upon my cloud and look down on the world I see how my friends and family have all my goods unfurled I’m not perturbed but overjoyed, letting out a laugh so hearty As I hear them exclaim quite loud, “The bugger’s dead, let’s have a party" ~~~###~~~ My best friend has gone away, And all we wanted, one more d

 Mother's Day Poems On Mother’s Day I’m filled with dread Should I buy a gift or let her stay in bed Though with cold coffee and burnt toast too I hope she’ll still say “I love you “. But on this, her special day We have to try and find a way To show her just how we feel And make her know that she’s unreal She’s a superhero though she tries to hide Even when she wears her undies on the outside A superhero without a cape, that’s true And yet she always has time for me and you So just for you on this, Mothers Day I’ll just take the time and have to say A special wish for my superhero, true All my hugs and kisses and “I love you" Happy Mother’s Day ~~~###~~~ A mother’s love is never ending And surpasses all other love That is unless you count The love from up Above ~~~###~~~ You taught me how to care You taught me how to pray You taught me all about respect You really showed me the way I learned how to love I learned how to care I learned how to treat each other With respectful a

 Missing You Poems Since you’ve been gone I miss you like a night without dawn Or waking to no coffee in the morn. My heart’s silent, my mind so unclear I’m just so lonely, Lord I wish you were here. Your absence is like Wi-Fi in a remote town, I'm disconnected, feeling quite down. I trawl your Facebook page trying to get some hint of you Come back soon, my friend, I'm feeling so blue! Like an SMS without a meme or a millennial without a phone, I'm incomplete when I'm all alone. Without your jokes and your smile so bright, Life's a bit dull, day and night. So hurry back, my dear, please come back My life's a misery, I’m on the wrong track I miss you more than words can construe, Let's reunite soon, and help me to mend too. ~~~###~~~ You couldn’t live with me, I couldn’t live without Somehow we had to compromise How was I to know the solution Would bring tears to my eyes. ~~~###~~~ You went away, you wanted to begin again I stayed here trying to pick up the p

 Lost Love Poems I thought I’d die when you left A heart so broken, so bereft My faith in you, so misplaced A love like ours can’t be replaced I thought our love was strong and true How was I to know you didn’t feel it too So when you left it caught me by surprise I cried so much I couldn’t dry my eyes But I know somehow it won’t be the end I just need time for my broken heart to mend And then one day deep in the future A new love, my broken heart sutured ~~~###~~~ I once did roam in love's pure realm Hand in hand, two hearts at the helm I thought our love would last forever And that you would leave me never But then we turned that corner in life In my heart you stabbed me with a knife Thrusting it deep and breaking it in two I knew we were over through and through Leaving me, paying no mind to the present Leaving me with just our love to resent Seeing no future, dwelling on the past Unsure of how long this feeling will last. ~~~###~~~ And now you’re gone The clouds block out the s

 Funny Poems My mother can’t bake cookies She also can’t cook cakes And every time she does She always makes mistakes She tried to cook a chocolate cake And she thought it was a hit But when she put the frosting on The cake just up and split She tried to cook some cookies And filled it with chocolate bits But she set the temp. too high And ended up like charcoal pits.

 Easter Poems In fields of green, where bunnies play,  The Easter Bunny plies his trade, But unlike Santa who puts his toys in a sack,  These chocolate treats are hard to track.

  Divorce Poems Divorce proceedings take their part, In a courtroom, laughter starts,  Once joined in love, now asunder,  With witty quips, they mend their blunder.     Lawyers' banter, sharp and sly, Divorce decree, a final high, Assets split, they both share A twist on heartbreak a comical flair.     Friends and family gather 'round, Smiles and chuckles, love unbound, For though their paths now diverge, Laughter heals the pain they purge.     In jest they part, a final jest, Divorce as comedy, they attest, Through humour’s lens, they find release, A tale of split hearts, told with peace     ~~~###~~~     Not as it once was But it is as it should They couldn’t get on So they’ve split up for good     Nothing to do But their assets to split Who gets the house What about the kids     They’ll find they’ll get on better When they’re apart One beginning over And a new one about to start     ~~~###~~~     ‘Love' lasts forever But divorce is so final Yet there is no point

  Depression Poems In shadows deep, where sunlight hides, A gloomy cloud within abides, But fear not, friend, for laughter's cure, Shall bring the sun to hearts demure. With coffee mugs and sleepy eyes, Depression's spell, we'll swiftly guise, We'll dance like penguins, all askew, And chase away those shades of blue. A merry band, we'll form a pact, To battle blues with jokes intact, We'll tickle troubles, make them flee, With puns and jests, we shall be free! So when the weight of life's a frown, Let's flip it upside, shake it down, With humour as our steadfast guide, Depression's power, we'll deride! ~~~###~~~ I awaken early to another day Stealing myself to a coffee haze Another day seeking intercession Another day of deep depression All around it seems so grey And I can’t seem to find my way But yet when all seems lost and blue I know I can rely on you You’re always there to lend a hand You always seem to understand In the darkness I can’t hi

 Christmas Poems Christmas is here again and it’s time to remember That 25th day of December It’s not just about jolly old Santa Or any snappy banter But about kindness and love Not presents and similar stuff So, this Christmas remember to send Your love and best wishes hoping to mend The broken, downtrodden and lost With Christmas cheer, whatever the cost ~~~###~~~ In a North Pole cottage snug, Santa sipped his cocoa from a mug. His belly wobbled like a bowl full of jelly, As he laughed at the elves acting quite silly. One tripped on tinsel, oh what a sight, Another got tangled in twinkling lights. Imin and Tata did a silly dance, While still, two more did a reindeer prance Rudolph was flashing his nose with glee, But got tangled in tape, as you can see. Mrs. Claus was baking up a feast, Her Christmas cookies were such a treat! So as the North Pole bustled with holiday cheer, Santa chuckled, "It's the funniest time of year!" With laughter ringing, spirits so bright, Merr
