"It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday"~Boyz II Men

It's the end of the year and there are many memories you have had over the course of the past ten months.  Read the lyrics (words to the song) by the popular '90s R&B boy band Boyz II Men.   Describe two things that make this a poem.  Next write what you will miss, enjoyed, or learned as a fifth grader this year.

                                         How do I say goodbye to what we had? 

The good times that made us laugh 
Outweigh the bad.  (verse 1)

I thought we'd get to see forever 
But forever's gone away 
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. (Verse 2)

I don't know where this road 
Is going to lead 
All I know is where we've been 
And what we've been through. (Verse 3)

If we get to see tomorrow 
I hope it's worth all the wait 
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. (verse 4)

And I'll take with me the memories 
To be my sunshine after the rain 
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. (refrain)

And I'll take with me the memories 
To be my sunshine after the rain 
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. (refrain)

    Thire is rhyming in this song. It has stanzas. I enjoyed learning about history because learning about old times and seeing how many people explored the world showed it took a long time to explore new places.

    A stanza is a group of lines in poetry with no blank lines in between. Stanzas are like paragraphs in normal writing. They divide one part of the poem from the next part. In a hymn or a song they would be called 'verses'.a stanza is like a paragraph. divided pieces of a poem In poetry, a stanza iS
    a unit within a large poem.In modern poetry, the term is often equivalent with strophe;in popular vocal music. I enjoyed being a class clown this year.

    it makes a poem because has stanzas as a poem and versers.

    the best thing i enjoyed was recess and specials because you can get free time from the class and doing work.
    the best thing i learned was poems and how to write poems in class.

  12. Two things that make this a poem are:

    It has stanzas.

    It doesn't have punctuation marks.

    I will miss the classroom jokes we had and I will miss my teachers.

    I will also miss playing at recess.

  16. I think the two things that make up this poem are love and desire . I will miss my teachers and friends also all the laughs we've had . I remember all the assembles we've had and field trips we've taken. I will really miss waking and realizing I have to go to school!
