Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. Since many colleges and universities hold their graduation ceremonies
this week, this week’s theme is graduation.
Today’s poem is about how graduates affect the reputation of
an institution.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Graduates become the cover story,
Representing all those still within;
As those who came before provide the glory
Determining how well one might begin.
Underneath the letters are the learners,
A class on whom the mantle now must fall,
Taken into custody as earners,
Each a new advertisement for all,
Serving as the institute writ small.
