Bucket List Poems

LIFE 

By Jack McDonald 

When I am older there are things I want to do 

Here is a list of just a few... 

Hockey player, architect is my employment 

 But there is more for my enjoyment 

 

It would take me years to learn 

But in the end, a degree a would earn 

It would help me find my career 

It would keep me working year to year 

 

Traveling and dogs would bring me much joy 

It would be like a new toy to a boy 

Brothers, Friends, Family are some roles I would take on 

Not just temporarily, but life-long 

 

Traveling is a joy of mine 

I will do it on my spare time 

Australia, up North, UK I will go 

I will explore beaches, culture and snow 

 

Helping others is important to me 

I will be of service any way I can be 

Food, shelter, clothes are something I will do  

Helping the elders and homeless too 

 

Even though I am young, I can start these tasks now 

And as I get older, I will know how 

To be the best person I can be 

And trying my best will make me truly happy 

I could

By Evelyn

I want to dive through the sky, like a bird and it’s wings that will never die.

I want to explore the deep blue sea, befriending critters to help along my journey. 

I wish to fly a huge metal bird, roaring it’s engines for all to be heard. 

These are all things that I wish to do, but these are not all, no, just a few. 

I want to dive into culture and lore, discovering legends never heard of before.

I want to have pets, one billion or more, or maybe I can work at a jewelry store. 

I could learn to fly, or I could learn to sing, I could sit with my brother on a mile-high swing. 

I’ll write a book about the great outdoors, or open a shop that sells only drawers.

I could do all these things in one lifetime, but for now, I’ll just stick with a rhyme.

My future... 

When I get older, many things will be different. 

Like my skills and abilities to create entertainment. 

Of course, there is no limit to what I can learn, 

But one day there will be satisfaction that I will earn. 

 

There are some things I want to do before I die. 

So, making a bucket list out of a poem should be like pie. 

Speaking of pie, there are so many I wish to make. 

Apple, blueberry, banana cream, that I will all bake. 

 

Traveling around the world would be so much fun. 

But there are so many to visit, I can`t choose just one. 

Maybe France, Mexico or Japan. 

I`ll go to one of these places someday, that’s the plan. 

 

I haven`t seen many movie series before today. 

Like Fast and Furious or Star Wars, to get it out of the way. 

But right now, its summer so I can sit in front of my T.V. all curled,  

while watching these movies all day because I have all the time in the world. 

 

Finishing school will definitely be hard. 

I just might cry at the end of gr.12 when I get my last report card. 

After all, I spent most of my life in it. 

But I will let go it, bit by bit. 

 

I don`t know what I`ll be when I`m older. 

A waitress, a teacher maybe a soldier. 

There is just so much I could be,  

but for now, I`ll just be me.

1 I wish to work on cars  

2 big or small  

3 whether  they’ve drove in to a wall 

4 or just a stall 

I wish to see the northern lights 

They will shine so bright  

Up in the sky at night  

It will feel right 

Want to experience why Camping is great 

Why is it so great? 

I get to stay up late 

I want to learn Icelandic 

It would be a kick 

It would be like a candle and its wick 

Who knows if I will be able to learn Icelandic 

I will get a rocking chair  

It will rock like a hair falling thought the air 

In that chair I will get grey hair 

I will love that chair 

I want to make mom coffee in the morning 

She can drink it when she is working 

She will finish it before the end of the morning 

And I will be warming
