Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine
a theme from a variety of points of view. Since now is the time many schools in
the U.S. are having their graduations, the theme for this week is graduation.
I welcome comments
on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A graduation poem
for children comparing graduation to a number of animals and situations:
To graduate is like
a crow
Flying up into a
tree.
Once he gets there
he can see
The younger children
down below.
To graduate is like
a frog
Hopping up from
stair to stair.
He doesn't know
until he's there
How high he is above
the bog.
To graduate is as
though you
Were climbing up a
rocky hill.
Up and up you go
until
You’re at the top
and see the view.
Up and up and up we
go
From grade to grade,
from hop to hop.
Why do we hop all
the way to the top?
When we get there,
we will know.
