Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is graduation.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A graduation poem about the ambivalent feelings that come
with graduation day:
Glad to graduate and sad to leave.
Ready to go, reluctant to depart.
Anxious to learn what more we can achieve.
Divided down the center of the heart.
Underneath our premature nostalgia,
Avidly we dream of things to come.
The moment is a multilayered mixture
In which each part is greater than the sum.
Our longing is the source of memory.
Nor will we soon forget when we were we.
