Three Short Love Poems - Poetry Article

By:Randall Ulbricht

Here is a compilation of three short love poems written by twelve-year-old Emily. The first is a short poem about how Emily loves her teachers. During the school year, her literature class was given an assignment to write a letter to a departing teacher. Emily asked if she could write a poem instead and was given permission.

The second poem was written for a hand made card that Emily made for her mother for Mother’s Day. Similarly, the third was written for a hand made card for her father for Father’s Day.

The Last Day

by: Emily

The saddest thing

It's hard to say

Is seeing you on

Your last day.

I take it for granted,

Though I see you a lot,

Just how much you do

And your kind thought.

You helped me understand

Things I couldn't before.

I can't bear to watch you

Walk out of that door.

Though I'll miss you,

I know indeed

You'll do great out there

Planting new seeds.

"What seeds", you are asking

"Why can't I see?"

But you have already

Planted one in me.

It will grow and grow,

As I learn more and more.

Each day I'll remember

What you taught me before.

I'm happy for you

To plant more seeds.

I know they will grow

Without any weeds.

There won't be weeds.

Yes, of that I am sure.

For you have touched them.

Now they are pure.

The saddest thing,

It's hard to say,

Is seeing you on

Your last day.

A Mother’s Day Poem

by: Emily

Mom, I love you.

That is true.

All the way

To infinity, too.

Now that I’m older

And wiser, too,

I realize just

How much you do.

Most of the time

I don’t look to see

How many things

You do for me.

For this I am sorry.

Next time I’ll try.

You are wonderful,

And I’m glad you’re mine.

(Emily really can put out what she feels in a love poem, even at age twelve. I hope you see this in time for your next Mother's Day because it is probably how your child feels about you, whether spoken, written or acted.)

A Father's Day Poem

By: Emily

This is for you,

Dear Daddy of mine

To let you know

I think you're devine.

A bunch of years

Have flown by real fast

But do not worry,

I'll always keep our past.

It'll travel with me

Wherever I go.

I'll remember the times we've had

So long ago.

Please don't be sad,

Dear Daddy of mine

For there are more to come,

You will find.

I'll always remember

Those things we did

Like snowmobiling

(When Mommy was hid).

Riding our bikes,

Hitting golf balls,

Getting up on skis,

Without a fall.

Driving the golf cart,

Nicktoons Racing,

Jumping on the trampoline,

And later your back aching.

No matter where we go

Or what we do,

In my heart always

There's a place for you.

I hope this card helped

You to see

Just how much

I love you, Daddy!

(More telling than the exact words are the eyes of the daughter as she watches her father read the personally prepared poem.

I feel that all children can write down their feelings. Some may not be able to put in poem format, but I see them as poems anyway as they are from the heart. This may be the best way for them to express themselves.

When you see some spare time for your child coming up, why not give some space, and provide pencil and paper. Ask your child to write about how he or she feels about birds, or snow, or the blue sky, or you, or whatever. My guess is that you will be surprised!

7). History of Ghazal By : Syed Rizvi Ghazal originated in Iran in the 10th century A.D. It grew from the Persian qasida, which in verse form had come to Iran from Arabia. The qasida was a panegyric written in praise of the emperor or his noblemen. The part of the qasida called tashbib got detached and developed in due course of time into the ghazal. Whereas the qasida sometimes ran into as many as 100 couplets or more in monorhyme, the ghazal seldom exceeded twelve, and settled down to an average of seven.
