Whatif Poems - Imitation poems based on Shel Silverstein

Whatif

By: Rocket Smith

After the game I went to bed

And thought

Whatif I went out of bounds

Whatif I didn’t score a touchdown

Whatif I hit that guy harder

Whatif I wasn’t a starter

Whatif I didn’t have the spin move

Whatif I was not as smooth

Whatif I didn’t go to Swansboro

Whatif I wasn’t serving silent lunch tomorrow

Whatif I wasn’t Rocket

Whatif someone stopped it

Whatif I got tired of saying whatif

I’d probably quit saying it

Whatif

By: Kat Witte

This morning,

I was on a walk and met a man

Named whatif – he got to my head and all i

Could think was,

Whatif I smile and they don’t smile back

Whatif I have a friend name jack

Whatif I flunk a test

Whatif someone said I was the best

Whatif I don’t try

Whatif I accidently lie

I decided to leave the man

Until I met his sister – Fran

Whatif

By: Natalie Banner

I lay thinking till I can’t think anymore

Whatif . . .

Whatif I die,

Whatif nobody cries,

Whatif I hate,

Whatif I’m late,

Whatif all the stars shine no more,

Whatif I shut the door,

Whatif I don’t share,

Whatif I don’t care.

Whatif . . .

I think think, “they’re only whatif’s.”

Whatif

By: Albert Aguilar

Every night s I lay in bed

All these whatifs crowd my head

But soon the sun will come and shine

Whatif I don’t wake up on time

Whatif kids don’t think I’m cool

What if the teacher sees me and signs

Whatif lunch doesn’t make me full

Whatif I fail my test

Whatif my worst is really my best

Whatif I get in trouble

Whatif if people burst my bubble

These are my pointless thoughts

My bed’s not cold it’s really hot

 Whatif

By: Jacob Hooks

Two nights ago the whatifs crawled into my ear

Whatif I am not smart

Whatif I go crazy

Whatif I destroy the world

Whatif I get into a car crash

Whatif my family leaves me behind

Whatif I’m at gun point

Whatif I live on the streets the rest of my life

Whatif my family falls apart

Whatif my teachers quit on me

Whatif time freezes
Whatif I stop dreaming of the horrible whatifs

Whatif

By: Lexi Storm

Last night while I lay thinking here some

Whatifs crawled inside my ear

They would not leave not at all

Until I sang the whatif song

Whatif I never cry

Whatif all my dreams die

Whatif my food never cooks

What if all I have are books

Whatif I never find love

Whatif I’m the only one in the loner club

Whatif no one ever tells me hi

Whatif all we said was goodbye

What monsters were real

Whatif there’s no color teal
