Graduation Poems | Examples of Graduation Poetry

I feel all pasts, As if they were yesterday, Decades are but minutes to my minds and feels. As if I were still two-tens and five, Rather than three-tens and two.

We are going our separate ways, but we will not be alone. We will carry a piece of everyone around us, as well as those who are now gone. Memories may fade as we continue through life, but one thing we will all remember is this moment in time....

Through the academic years The feeling of uncertain and fear Here I am on graduation day being my personal preserver The studies were hard and long I wondered is higher learning where I belong There were numerous exams Research papers imaginable I got through it all The lectures were focused on concise being pure concepts It was “MIND OVER MATTER” that become concrete I...

The seed of a flower can be good or bad Don't think too much about life, and be sad Understand that the compound will pressure you a lot Fight through the feeling and land in a perfect spot Gravitate off the ground, rise through the air Make the best out of life with an unbreakable stare Have strength of a lion...

corners i have walked around corners when i should have stood still driven fast in slow zones and sat at the apex of silent stone walls i've said words i meant when i was high and regretted when i was low twisted sentences until they were wrung too dry to matter and left paragraphs drowning for want of a word my soul aches at midnight and...

Our caps flew like confetti. Thank god I customized mine. I'll keep it as a memento of all-nighters, friendships formed in the academic trenches, dismissive professors and group-project-tortures. This isn’t another ‘drunk girl’ holiday, despite obvious similarities. Our parents, sisters, brothers, and grandmothers are here. We came in doe-eyed, holding overpriced planners, and enough provisions for two year Mars missions. We hoped to discover...

Writers, poets, professors, professionals, teachers and students Be not afraid to say something, to tell the truth, to tell...

Words activate something in me even if I’m just thinking, not writing. So I soon find myself back at the keyboard. It seems that my life’s been a series of keyboards. My motor’s always running—I idle fast. But I’ve been untying my intellectual shoe-strings recently. Dissociatively avoiding intellective pursuits, and embracing entropy (since school ended). It’s been relaxing—I’ve felt new to my body. There’ve...
