Farewell Poem

inkpot and quill

A farewell poem can be easy to write because it has a structure that can help you to define your expression.
If you want your words to rhyme, then you have to choose your sentences around the rhyming words. This helps to structure what you want to say in your goodbye poems.



Remember, there are many types of poem - such as haiku, limerick, ditty...and they don't have to rhyme!

Funny or short goodbye poems can take the edge off parting, and is easier to write than a heavily sentimental speech or letter.

Sample Funny Poems

Funny goodbye poem to a family moving town

It must have been 5 year ago
The Gwitky's moved here from abroad
Now we have to watch them go
And we will surely miss them so

Besides Marge, Sam and little Margot
I'll feel the loss of Sam's lawnmower
No longer rusting in my shed
It'll help a new friend instead

I'd like mention Marge's sculptures
That had the whole street in raptures
Your yard was the only one not the same
And it put my garden gnomes to shame

So fare thee well and best of luck
Moving On takes a lot of pluck
It won't be easy to forget you
And we know you'll miss us too.

Limerick Poems: Farewell to the office
  • I worked 9 years in the basement
    Where the days were quiet and ambient
    But my last day is here
    I have to say with a tear
    That I have been made redundant.


  • There was a company in the town of Town
    Where shenanigans always went down
    I'll miss all the jokes
    the pranks and the folks
    So thanks for the good times all round.

I want my quills back


Haiku Goodbye

Loaded car on the highway
Gasp at state lines
Oven still on


No more gold watches
Hundreds of Post-It pads
squirreled away.

To me, you're like the North Star.

You're always there and you always care.

To me, you'...
