Wish Poems - The Chicago Poetry Center

Wish Poems

Wishes are a wonderful way to get started writing poetry! Both 5th Grade classes wrote about their real and not-so-real wishes, their wacky and silly wishes.

Lesson Note: We learned about lines and how poems are different from stories. Everyone was so excited to share their poems with the class.

Mrs. Childs, 5th Grade 5th Grade

I Wish Juan C.

I wish that I can go fishing every day

I wish I can have a lot of rods and reels

I wish I can own a lake or river

I wish I can go to the ocean to go fishing

I wish I can catch a shark

I wish I can go to Alaska

I wish I can meet Cristiano Ronaldo

I wish I could catch my biggest salmon this year

I wish I could live in Indiana so I could go fishing every day

I wish I could catch an Atlantic salmon

My Wacky Wishes Gabe D.

I wish I could have the perfect pickle whenever I wanted

I wish I could throw a frisbee perfectly

I wish I could do magic

I wish I could have a taco right now

I wish I could have a real hoverboard

I wish I could get a pencil that writes for me

I wish I could meet my favorite George Lucas

I wish I could control time

I wish I could have more free time

I wish I could catch a baseball

10 Magical Wishes Priscilla A.

I wish Harry Potter was real

I wish to have a pet dragon

I wish I could be home right now

I wish to live forever

I wish I was in Mexico

I wish I could bring my dog everywhere

I wish that everything was made out of candy

I wish I lived in a mansion

I wish trees could talk

I wish to read 10,000 books a day
