I Miss You
I miss you in the morning;
I miss you late at night.
Just to think about you
Is my joy and my delight.
I can't wait to see you;
Please hurry and come back.
You always make me happy;
You have that special knack!

Spring Poem
Spring poems celebrate the rebirth of, well, everything! Spring poetry often features spring plants and weather, as this spring verse does. I hope you enjoy this spring poem as much as I did writing it. It's one of my favorite rhyming poems.
Sweet Spring
When the gloomy gray sky turns to clear azure blue,
And the snow disappears from the ground,
When the birds start to sing, and our moods start to lift,
Then we know Spring is coming around.
When the first flower bulbs poke their heads toward the sun,
Golden daffodils, hyacinths, too;
When the brown grass turns green, and the wildflowers bloom,
Then sweet Spring makes its showy debut.
Once again we awake from cold winter's pale dream,
As our minds and our bodies revive;
We rejoice and delight in spring’s colorful sight;
Each new spring makes us glad we’re alive!
By Joanna Fuchs
Winter Poem
Winter poems celebrate the special unique delights of the season. This winter poem tries to capture some of the feelings of settling in for winter.
Winter’s Embrace
When winter blows its cold breath everywhere,
And throws a chill white blanket on the ground,
The sun makes sparkling diamonds on the snow,
And trees with icy diadems are crowned.
It’s time to snuggle in for winter fun
In cozy places, maybe by a fire.
A good book and some cocoa feel just right
In flannels, sweaters, winter’s warm attire.
Winter’s gloom is comforting somehow,
As life retreats from its rushed and frantic pace.
We’re ready now to stay indoors awhile,
As we settle into winter’s calm embrace.
By Joanna Fuchs
Sister Poem
Rhyming poems can be about family members. Sister poems celebrate that special female bond. Use this quality sister poetry to express your love and appreciation. It seems appropriate that sister poems be rhyming poems.
This free sister poem, a rhyming poem, will touch her heart.
Sisters Heart to Heart
From the time that we were little,
I knew you’d always be
Not just a loving sister
But a caring friend to me.
A shoulder I could cry on,
A helping hand in times of need,
A cheerleader to lift me up,
My angel in both word and deed.
We told each other secrets;
We giggled and we cried.
We shared our joys and sorrows--
We were always side by side.
We have a very special bond;
I knew it from the start.
You’ll have my love forever--
We’re sisters, heart to heart.
By Joanna Fuchs
Retirement Poem
Retirement poems can express affection for the person leaving and recognition for their contributions, as this retirement greeting does. This retirement poetry has an alternate retirement verse at the end. If you switch the last two lines with the alternate two lines, it becomes a tongue-in-check funny retirEment poem.
Good Memories
Your retirement leaves a great big gap
In all our lives and hearts;
A workplace is never quite the same
When someone like you departs.
You’ve enriched us in so many ways;
We’ll miss you more than you know;
We wish you luck, and hope you take
Good memories when you go.
Alternate ending for funny version:
You’re terrific; You’re very special to us,
And now that we’ve said that, just go!
By Joanna Fuchs
Inspirational and Life Poems
Inspirational life poems can be rhyming poems or free verse poems. These kinds of poems may reflect on the joys and sorrows, the richness and complexity of life.
This life poem, a rhyming poem, focuses on the ups and downs of life.
We Don’t Know Why
The twinkling of stars on a balmy night,
The gabble of geese as they take flight,
A passionate look in your lover’s eye,
The graceful ballet of a butterfly.
Living on the edge, in a committed way,
Facing all challenges day by day,
Your life on the line—to do, not just try,
Life is exciting—a natural high.
Failure and boredom appear in your life;
Unhappiness cuts you, just like a knife.
“Where are all the good times,” you cry;
Is life just hard, and then you die?”
The freshening feel of an ocean breeze,
The colors of change in the leaves on the trees,
The feeling of peace as the days go by,
Life's a dazzling puzzle—and we don’t know why.
By Karl and Joanna Fuchs
This inspirational poem, a rhyming poem, is also a motivational poem. Inspirational poetry should contain elements that everyone can relate to. I think we can all remember a time or two when we felt like this.
Find Your Thankful Self
Sometimes you feel you're nothing at all,
And that's all you'll ever be.
You study all your defects;
An empty life is all you see.
Instead of looking at what you haven't got,
Seeing only what you lack,
Focus on your blessings,
And get right back on track.
There are many good things about being you;
Count them one by one.
Your life has lots of comforts,
While others, they have none.
Many people have it much, much worse
Yet they have happiness.
They take joy in little things
They're thankful, though they have less.
Lift your spirits up right now;
Get out of that depression.
Find your thankful self,
And give it full expression.
Find the joy in little things;
Focus on fun and laughter.
See life's blessings all around,
And live happily ever after!

Son Poem and Daughter Poem
Son poems should provide support and encouragement, as this son poem (a rhyming poem) does.
My Son
My son, you’re a remarkable person to me;
Your good qualities make me feel proud.
I don’t give you compliments often enough,
But I really should shout them out loud.
You're an intelligent, capable, likeable guy;
I often admire what you do.
You've got a good heart; you help and you care;
To your family and friends you are true.
You're responsible, trustworthy, faithful and kind;
You work hard to do all you can.
My heart fills with joy when I think to myself
That I raised such a wonderful man.
By Joanna and Karl Fuchs
Daughter poems can contain more sentiment than son poems, so this daughter poem is sweet and heartfelt. It's a rhyming poem.
My Daughter
My wonderful daughter, delight of my heart,
I hope that you know you’re both lovely and smart.
I cherish you dearly for the person you are,
You have passion and caring that will carry you far.
Wherever you go you’ll be watched by my love,
And we’ll always be close like a hand in a glove.
May the years treat you kindly, may laughter hold sway,
And I’m here for you always if your blue skies turn gray.
By Karl Fuchs
Note: There is also a daughter poem, for daughters who are also mothers on the Mother Poems page. It's entitled Daughter Of My Heart.
Sorry or Forgiveness or Apology Poem
Rhyming poems can express emotions, and rhyming forgiveness poems have to cover a lot of things. An I’m sorry poem must apologize and reestablish the relationship, and this apology poem does that. It's a rhyming forgive me poem. Note that you can change "said" to "did," if that's more appropriate.
Please Forgive Me
When I said what I said, I was wrong;
Please forgive me, and let’s start anew.
Our relationship means much to me.
I’m so sorry my blunder hurt you.
Though your memory may bring it back up,
Won’t you please try to put it away?
I’ll be tactful and sensitive now;
I’ll think of your needs every day.
Let’s go on with our lives as we were;
I’d take it all back if I could.
Let’s focus on positive things;
What we have is important and good.
By Joanna Fuchs
Summer Poems
Summer poems are very popular, so here are two summer rhyming poems for you.
There is lots of pleasurable material for summer poetry! This summer poem focuses on what is unique about summer. I hope you like this rhyming summer verse.
Summer Pleasures
Sunshine beaming golden heat
For lots of fun outdoors;
Vacations, for a sweet retreat
To mountains, plains and shores.
Kids in constant summer motion,
Free from teacher’s rule,
Head to toe in suntan lotion,
At the beach or pool.
Inflatable rafts on which to float,
Camping and fishing gear,
Rowing or sailing or waterski boat,
Tell us summer’s here.
Things we can’t do the rest of the year
Are summer’s special treasures;
Oh summer, summer, linger long,
And give us all your pleasures!
By Joanna Fuchs
Summer poems can talk about so many fun things! This short piece of summer poetry tries to capture the satisfying aspects of summer in a rhyming poem.
Summer Delights
Healing summer heat
That comforts every bone;
Juicy summer fruits,
A frosty ice cream cone.
Aroma of sizzling meat
Grilling on the barbecue,
Green lawns and summer flowers,
A gazillion fun things to do.
Summer shorts and swimsuits,
Arms and legs are bare;
Summer’s sweet delights
Are welcome everywhere!
By Joanna Fuchs
Grandparent's Day Poem
When is Grandparents Day 2008?
Grandparents Day falls on Sunday, September 7, 2008.
Rhyming poems for grandparents have to include a variety of descriptions to fit different families. Take the stanzas that fit your grandma and grandpa and leave the others out. This grandparents poem can also be used as a free Grandparents Day poem. It's a rhyming poem.
Grandparents Meet A Need
Grandparents meet a need
That no one else can fill;
They’re always kind and gentle;
They love you and always will.
They have plenty of time to listen,
To encourage and to care;
When others are too busy,
Grandparents are always there.
They have delicious foods;
There’s always something cooking;
They feed you scrumptious tidbits,
When no one else is looking.
They take you special places;
They’re never in a hurry.
They soothe you when you’re troubled,
And help you not to worry.
They buy you things you want,
Even things that you don’t need;
"Do what makes them happy!"
Is every grandparent’s creed.
They focus on your good points,
And overlook each flaw;
How could we do without
Our grandma and grandpa?
Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma,
For giving life a special shine;
I’m glad to have grandparents,
And happy you both are mine!

Autumn Poems and Fall Poems
I enjoy writing rhyming poems about the four seasons, so I wrote three autumn poems. These fall poems are rhyming poems. This autumn verse could be a fall poem for kids.
Fall’s Chores
Summer’s getting drowsy now;
Soon she will be dozing;
Flowers are folding up their heads,
Another season’s closing.
Fall is waiting in the wings,
Impatient to get going,
He has a lot of work to do,
Before it’s time for snowing.
"I have to paint the leaves," he says,
"In shades of red and gold,
And send the geese along their way
Before it gets too cold.
"I’ll ripen pumpkins on the vine,
For sweet Thanksgiving pies,
And plump the apples on the trees
To make cider that satisfies.
"Sunshiny days will be shorter now;
I’ll add a cool, crisp breeze;
For this relief from summer heat,
I make no apologies.
"I have just one more thing to do;
My work is almost done;
I’ll turn the leaves to crunchy piles,
So kids can have fall fun!"
By Joanna Fuchs
Fall poetry should include the things that characterize the season. This autumn poem includes a lot of them. I hope you like this rhyming poem about fall.
Flamboyant Autumn
Autumn’s picturesque arrival
Is a colorful array
Of red and gold and orange,
In flamboyant, rich display.
Autumn days are shorter;
The nights are getting cool;
Geese fly south in flocks,
As kids go back to school.
Winter still is dreaming
Of snow and icicles,
As we put away our swimsuits,
Our boats and bicycles.
Wisps of smoke from chimneys
Tell of cozy, crackling fires;
Fall is being born,
As summer now retires.
By Joanna Fuchs
This rhyming poem is an autumn poem about the falling of the leaves. This fall poetry contains a lot of imagery.
Fall Ballet
In fall the leaves are dancing
In the newly cool, crisp breeze,
Tumbling, skipping, flipping,
As they throw themselves from trees.
Twirling, whirling dancers,
Give performances each day,
Floating gracefully to earth,
In a circular ballet.
And as they land together,
Making not a sound,
They form a comfy quilt,
For the hardening winter ground.
By Joanna Fuchs
