Time Clauses and Love Poems

Lesson

You can write love poems in time for Valentine's Day!

First read one I wrote:

When I met you, I was sad.

But now I am totally glad!

I love you, bunny,

Like I love tea and honey. 

My student wrote this one:

When you met me,

you said, "That's mine!" 

And you did a crime,

Cause you stole my heart. 

 

 So here are the directions:

Begin with a time clause. 

Time clauses are parts of a sentence that begin with Before, After or When.

    Before=what was first

    After= what was second

    When= at the time

Example:

"Before I met you, I cried."

        **this is the same as "I cried before I met you. "
             (first, I was sad, then secondly I met you)

 "When I saw you, I knew I was in love."

        ** this is the same as "I knew I was in love when I saw you."

           (The first moment I saw you, I knew I was in love.)

"After I left your house, I went home lonely." 

        ** this is the same as "I went home lonely after I left your house."

            (First I left your house, then secondly I went home lonely)


THEN:

Try to have some rhyming. Rhyming words sound the same like sad and glad.  

 

I would love it, if you could leave some poems in the comments. That would be really cool. Or if you have any questions about time clauses ask me!

What it's life without ur smile.

What is time when your kisses are numerous on my skin, it's juste eternity and second are resume in a same laps of anything .

How comes, u r so sweety and even drink ocean's of honey, How comes!

 How comes, in ur eyes r so much of lightness, like the sun in is…, oh!!, i'm blind of it .

I'm desperatly in need of u; please could let ur light on my darkness and…. and…, ouf! and them! and…, you know, i love u, really.

NB:Just trying.

in this time, in this world,no one knows how to live

in this time, in this moment, no one feels as i feel

what to say, what to do, here i am with my heart

with my soul in my hand,with my eyes looking around,

looking around to find a way, to find a path for my life, to find a way for moving on, to find a way to live my life,to live the life without pain, without cry, without shame.
