The building
consisting of brick Stone and cement
means security
A home
holding us up against ignorance
The room also implies a meaning
as we go from day to day year to year
we venture from room to room
As we ascend
we leave behind the past year
but bring its learning
into the new year
The window symbolizes the future
as one looks out
they cannot see all that is before them
with our compression of all we have learned
we are able to seek out goals
yes
School reminds me of life

ReplyDeleteThis is truly meaningful to me. School was always important as I

This one made me stop and reread right away. The writer's phrase, "our compression of all we have learned" makes the price of this poem worth the ticket, if you will pardon the cliche. Normally I dislike using Latin-based words like "compression," but this fits in a solid way here. Good, bad, funny, hateful, ugly, useful -- all learning is squeezed into a life, and we need to be truly grateful for all of it.
