LOVE POEMS

Did I Ever Tell You

how much I love you?

I love you more

than the yawn

of the morning sun.

I love you more

than the warmth

of my mum’s hug.

I love you more

than the swish

of the summer trees.

I love you more

than the kiss

of a cost blanket.

You are hot

You are crusty

You are cheesy

You

are

my

PIZZA!

you can write love poems about anything, not just people. Based on my poem above, here are some love poems written by my students.

I really need you

I love you!

You are precious

I won't let ANYONE touch you

You are really cool

and useful

You

my

lovely

RUCKSACK.

iPhone by Mahrukh

You are my Google

You are my sweets

You are my pillow

You are my bedroom

You are my school bag

You are my house

You are my blanket

You are my pencil case

You are my world

You are my everything

You are

You are my iPhone

the best iPhone ever

The Real Me - by Itohan and Chineye (Year 5)

Nobody knows this about me, because I act kind, honest and tidily in class.
Also I have a great imagination and I’m very creative.
I imagine great wacky stuff like great big ants and volcanos erupting on cities and I especially imagine these things when I’m bored.

This is who I really am
Let me out, let me out
No more fighting who I really am
This is me.

I’m like a turtle stuck in its shell
I’m like a lioness without her cub.
Even though I’m afraid of showing who I really am, for once I feel like I should open up to people and stop worrying of what they’re going to think of me.

This is who I really am
Let me out, let me out
No more fighting who I really am
This is me.

Without my unique personality I feel like I have no soul no heart and no life within me
Chorus
This is who I really am
Let me out, let me out
No more fighting who I really am
This is me.

Now I’m going to let my feelings out and show the world who I really am
I’m not a shy person who never gets noticed anymore.

This is who I really am
Let me out, let me out
No more fighting who I really am
This is me.

So now you know the real me.
