School Romanticism Poems | Examples

After Teaching Romanticism I Want To Join the Circus

we pass through the gates
we pass the kindergarten with it's colourful play area
we pass the primary school with the din of laughter 
we pass the middle school with the hubbub of whirlwind psychosis 

we are hit with the high school building
we are hit with wild landscapes
we are hit with fickle wassails
we are hit with hoodoo troopers

i teach Wordsworth 
there's always something missing
we come from a world that is more heavenly 
our childhood happened to someone else

i''m going to give up poetry and teaching
and go into clowning
