Graduates Become the Cover Story

May 13, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is graduation since many colleges and universities have their graduations in May.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A graduation poem about how graduates affect the reputation of an institution:

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.
