The Life Of A Cupcake

I was in class one day and I got bored and was really hungry, so I decided to write a poem about what I was craving at the time!!

Poem Told From The Perspective Of A Cupcake

in Rhyming Poems

They put me in the oven to bake.
Me, a deprived and miserable cake.
Feeling the heat, I started to bubble.
Watching the others, I knew I was in trouble.

They put me in the oven to bake.
Me, a deprived and miserable cake.
Feeling the heat, I started to bubble.
Watching the others, I knew I was in trouble.

They opened the door and I started my life.
Frosting me with a silver knife,
Decorating me with candy jewels.
The rest of my batch looked like fools.

Lifting me up, she took off my wrapper.
Feeling the breeze, I wanted to slap her.
Opening her mouth with shiny teeth inside,
This was the day this cupcake died.

When The World Turned Upside Down
- By Margaret A. Savage
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2017 with permission of the Author.
I started writing humorous ditties for family and friends many years ago, but since having grandchildren, my desire changed to write humorous rhymes for them. As I write each one, another pops into my head (I currently have 2 on the go at the moment). I now have a small collection of poems.

in Funny Poems for Kids

The day when the world
turned upside down:
when a frown became a smile
and a smile became a frown.

The day when the world
turned upside down:
when a frown became a smile
and a smile became a frown.

When the mice chased the cats
the cats chased the dogs.
The dogs laughed out loud
at the pink and yellow frogs.

When you went to bed in the daytime
and got up at night.
When birds caught the school bus
and the cows took flight.

When the moon came out
in the middle of the day
and all of the ocean's fish
rolled around in the hay.

When the children ruled the world
and ice cream was for free
and the elephants shrank
to the size of a flea.

When the grass rained lollipops
up to the sky.
When you wanted to laugh
but could only cry.

When magic beans were real
and giants very small,
you would eat spiders legs
so you could creep up the wall.

This all happened when the
world turned upside down
after I went to bed
with a smile - not a frown.

A Sense Of Love
- By William Wilson
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2019 with permission of the Author.
This is a simple poem simply created from my love of my wife.
For Valentine's Day, the first as husband and wife, I thought I'd try my hand at showing my love in a new, romantic way. What better way than through rhyme?

The Depth Of Your Love

in Wife Poems

Love is not something you see.
It's meaning everything to me.
It's needing to have you in my life,
So much that I made you my wife.

Love is not something you see.
It's meaning everything to me.
It's needing to have you in my life,
So much that I made you my wife.

Love is not something you hear.
It's always wanting to have you near.
It's needing to feel your lips each day
So much that no words could ever say.

Love is not something you taste.
It's never letting it go to waste.
It's needing to see you even when we fight,
So much or I'll miss you day and night.

Love is not something you touch.
It's knowing that you mean so much.
It's needing your skin when I'm in bed,
So much that you make me lose my head.

Love is not something you smell.
It's something that you're proud to tell.
It's needing to always make you smile,
So much that you make my life worthwhile.

In Good Time...
- By Abimbola T. Alabi
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2019 with permission of the Author.
Sometimes it seems life is all about biding time. Patience is seldom easy, but it is always rewarding.

A Poem About Waiting Well

in Hope Poems

Life can seem an endless maze,
The twists and turns, lulls and delays,
But things always fall into place...
In good time.

Life can seem an endless maze,
The twists and turns, lulls and delays,
But things always fall into place...
In good time.

Friends will sometimes go away.
Some may disappoint or others betray,
But new ones will come to stay...
In good time.

The hurt of getting something wrong,
And the lesson it often brings along
Are there, you see, to make you strong...
In good time.

Kindness freely given away,
Unnoticed now, will somehow find its way
Back to you and come to stay...
In good time.

Efforts seem not to pay to plan?
Forge on friend, doing the best you can.
Fortune will find the deserving man...
In good time.

Life can be tough, there's no doubt,
But hope is the thing we can't do without.
Right things with joy will come about...
In good time.

Friend
- By Lisa Asmo
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2016 with permission of the Author.
I wrote this poem 30 years ago, and it still rings true today. A great friendship is hard to find. Let those who have made a difference in your life be aware of their impact. Each moment is a gift. Share your gifts with others, and be sure to thank others for the gifts they bring to your life.

Poem Thanking A Friend For Support

in Thank You Friend Poems

You're a very special person.
I'm glad that you're my friend,
For when I need a little advice,
You always have some to lend.

You're a very special person.
I'm glad that you're my friend,
For when I need a little advice,
You always have some to lend.

You help me when I am troubled,
Feeling down and out-
I never have to say what's wrong.
You seem to know what I'm all about.

I can always tell you my feelings
Without having you put me down.
You're the person I can turn to
When no one else is around.

I can cry on your shoulder
When things are going wrong.
You give me a smile
And help me to be strong.

You seem to understand me.
After all that we've gone through,
I only have one thing to say...
Thanks for being YOU!

How Can I Forget?
- By Jason
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2009 with permission of the Author.
I wrote this to try to vent a little after discovering a picture on the internet of my girlfriend with another guy at a club, after she told me nothing had happened that night.

in Betrayal Poems

Analysis of Form and Technique

That very first day that we met,
It's a feeling I'll never forget.
All the experiences that we've shared,
I knew right away that you were rare.

That very first day that we met,
It's a feeling I'll never forget.
All the experiences that we've shared,
I knew right away that you were rare.

You see, it's hard to find someone like you,
Usually, they're too good to be true.
Though I should've entered with more ration,
With you I felt so much passion.

I wish those things had never happened.
It feels as though my love's been abandoned.
All I wanted was to make you happy,
So why is it that I have to feel so crappy?

I want nothing more than for us to move on,
But it's so hard now that the trust is gone.
I want to get past this, I really do...
What can I do to make you be true?

My love for you is like an undying flame.
And I once wished for our love to remain.
Do you remember that day, the day that it snowed?
It's the day that I wished for our love to grow.

You hurt me that night; you need to know that you did.
And I need you to know that I can forgive.
But I'm really struggling with trying to forget,
Because I still feel the same as that first day we met.

The Soul Print
- By Scott Mcintire
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2015 with permission of the Author.
I wrote this while sitting near a waterfall along Veoli in central Norway, admiring the mountains in the horizon and the clouds above me.

Poem About Peaceful Places

in Spiritual Poems about Nature

Sitting in peaceful places
Upon Nature's natural faces
Silent sounds of the River's rushing
The Wind with the Trees harmoniously brushing

Sitting in peaceful places
Upon Nature's natural faces
Silent sounds of the River's rushing
The Wind with the Trees harmoniously brushing

Quiet Clouds above calmly passing by
A Sea of blue and white that pleases the Eye
Mountains in the distance sit still in yellow light
The Sun ahead constantly coloring every sight

Never again will we ever be here
At this very moment let us not fear
For this is where the mind is content
This is where the Soul leaves its print

Before The Ice Is In The Pools
- By Emily Dickinson
Famous Poem

Emily Dickinson was an American poet who lived from 1830-1886. The first volume of her poetry was not published until four years after her death. In this poem, it’s not clear what the speaker was waiting for, but some believe it could be Sue, Emily’s sister-in-law. They spent many years corresponding with each other but had moments of estrangement. Some believe this poem also has religious and spiritual references to touching to cloak of Jesus and crossing over to death. Or it could simply be about waiting for winter to arrive. This poem is composed of quatrains (four-line stanzas) that follow the ABCB rhyme scheme.

in Famous Holiday Poems

Before the ice is in the pools—
Before the skaters go,
Or any check at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow—

Before the ice is in the pools—
Before the skaters go,
Or any check at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow—

Before the fields have finished,
Before the Christmas tree,
Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!

What we touch the hems of
On a summer's day—
What is only walking
Just a bridge away—

That which sings so—speaks so—
When there's no one here—
Will the frock I wept in
Answer me to wear?

A Lady Who Thinks She Is Thirty
- By Ogden Nash
Famous Poem

Ogden Nash’s humorous tone comes out in this poem about a woman who wakes up one morning and realizes she has aged. She feels as though she was just twenty-nine the night before. The days have a way of slipping away, and before you realize it, you’re older than you feel. Even though the woman in this poem, Miranda, does not want to age, the speaker assures her that she is still loved and adorned with beauty. This poem is made up of quatrains that follow the ABAB rhyme scheme.

in Famous Funny Poems

Unwillingly Miranda wakes,
Feels the sun with terror,
One unwilling step she takes,
Shuddering to the mirror.

Unwillingly Miranda wakes,
Feels the sun with terror,
One unwilling step she takes,
Shuddering to the mirror.

Miranda in Miranda's sight
Is old and gray and dirty;
Twenty-nine she was last night;
This morning she is thirty.

Shining like the morning star,
Like the twilight shining,
Haunted by a calendar,
Miranda is a-pining.

Silly girl, silver girl,
Draw the mirror toward you;
Time who makes the years to whirl
Adorned as he adored you.

Time is timelessness for you;
Calendars for the human;
What's a year, or thirty, to
Loveliness made woman?

Oh, Night will not see thirty again,
Yet soft her wing, Miranda;
Pick up your glass and tell me, then--
How old is Spring, Miranda?
