To Be Graduated

A Shadow falls across the Moon
     The evening seminar stops its tune
     College has ended for this same day
     Except for what with the few last student's
         lamplight rays.

A Proud, Black, Young Lady

I should be holding my head up high
because I'm a young, black lady
who graduated high school
and is now going to
college. I make good
grades and have a
job that God's
blessed me
with.

Untitled #33 / Dark Hard Dark Rubber Shoe Soles

Dark hard dark rubber shoe soles
jiggle up and down in boredom
classy, they’re the same he’ll wear
ten years from now, graduated,
at the office, still bored, wondering
where his youth went.

Please Remember

A Nigerian, studying for years,
In higher institution,
Burning candles.

Graduated with honors, got no job,
Searching daily,
Fed up.

Tears rolling down, he is pained,
Remember him,
This I plead.

Milk and Honey

Milk and Honey

Heard that they had a big rehearsal
Graduated from Trump School Universal
We had handed him all of our money
He then collected it like milk and honey
Now we can't do anything that is useful.

How sad.

Another Kerr Eruption

Another Kerr Eruption

With intelligence had been an interruption,
And inserted into it was some Kerruption;
We were elated,
And graduated;
While Trump had experienced corruption.

Kerr is a lay Episcopal Person at All Saints
at Stonybrook, NY.

Rewards of College Education

in grade school
he heard about it

in high school
he prepared for it

in his first year
he explored it

in his second year
he focused on it

in his third year
he felt part of it

in his fourth year
he graduated from it

Now, he has a job
because of it.

August 29, 1986

(This poem is true)

Twenty years ago today was the last day I went to school.
I was fed up with taking the students and teachers bull.
I dropped out in the 9th grade but years later I graduated high school at the age 
of twenty-three.
I hope other kids don't drop out like me.

tell me

tell me are you proud of me? I've graduated now and ended the school year with straight A's.
Are you proud of me? why do I have to question everything I do?
Do I really make you proud or is that just something you're saying to me now so I can feel better about myself?
i just want the truth.

The Fire Dragons

They coursed their thoughts
Pretending they were dragons
Smoking like they were nothing else

They had just graduated
In the art of smoking a cigarette
Without even hurting it

Nobody could deny the hypocrisy
Nor the ugly face of mediocrity:
Were they students of Socrates
They would know the realities.

Premium Member Waiting For Our Own Voice

waiting for our own voice

words 
will be made
 available as needed..
when understood and 
experienced..this is 
our unique voice..
trust and silence
 in this moment..will 
bring fresh words or
 fresh patterns..
true artists know this
and are grateful for 
their teachers..but know
they have graduated...!

Premium Member "plastics" (Based On "the Graduate")

“Plastics”, is the word the man said
To Ben who just graduated from college,
At his parent’s party that was so dead.
“Plastics”, is the word the man said,
As he floated off in the pool instead,
Soon to enjoy Mrs. Robinson carnal knowledge.
“Plastics”, is the word the man said
To Ben who just graduated from college.

To Be In Love

to be in love is a joy 
I am just a man 
not a boy
she graduated me to manhood
her loving is so good
she loves me too
the way she should
tender kisses in the morning
just to wake me up 
hugs and squeezes in my coffee cup
she makes my day 
at night when the lights are down low
she holds me tight 
the woman is right
the one for me

Tacky

It becomes like a pine smell.
Maybe jugs of orange juice shimmer.
Why fireflies don’t have lungs.
Yet they still harmonize something we can’t see.
I like the wallpaper growing in my head.
Surreal climbing age.
I graduated from nothingness and croaked out a sore sound.
That scholarship all those years ago?
Feels tacky.

Premium Member Will Sonsly Jerillee and Kluptoma Be There

Will Sonsly be there? Maybe
Mental note to self.
Leave checkbook at home.
Make excuses for all next week.

Will Jerillee be there?
Maybe.
Mental note to self.
Leave credit cards at home.

Will Kluptoma be there?
Definitely!
Mental note, lock purse in car trunk
And hope Kluptoma has not graduated
To grand theft auto yet.

Pets

Our pets got old.
We all acted surprised.
When we had puppies and kittens…
They were playful and unstoppable.
So were we.
As they settled down-
We graduated high school.
As they got weak and scraggly-
We graduated collage.
Now we take turns sending our condolences.
Our friendships changed.
Our pets loved us all the way home.

Diagnosed Absurdity

graduated cum laude 
with a PhD in madness,
practitioner of your
  own philosophy as
    the harbinger of doom,
tales of darkness where
the deck is always stacked,
what's the sense of light
   to an austere night
or spring's flourish 
   mid winter's brashness,
you don't need to be
      a rocket scientist 
    to diagnose absurdity

Changing Expectations

It curdled.
The landscape.
Goop.
The notion the I might get that degree?
Whoosh.
Revving up to a wasteland.
And live in downed wires.
I really might have graduated.
If my organs didn’t curdle.
People look at me like I have eyes that care.
Or gratitude.
So I wailed at notions and old sticky notes.
And my soul that didn’t study enough.

It's Not Their Thing

I graduated with a bachelor's degree on my hand
A diploma I used to aim 
An excellency
A triumph
Nevertheless, It was the same thing.

I see myself as a beginner
A track I used to follow
Between right and wrong
I don't know where I belong.

Poetry is my best buddy
Pen is my best friend
They say I'm weird
But yes,  It's not their thing.

Premium Member Beast of Burden

The earth, the population's burden's beast - 
we take its flesh, its skin, and blood and bones.
We fight for its spoils.  Terror is unleashed. 
We have graduated from throwing stones -
mankind, once a hope, soon to be deceased. 
Can you hear the hot, fevered beast's last moans?
Beneath our planet's provident blue sky, 
we'll kill ourselves before the beast can die.
