17 Th Grade Poem by Asher Proschansky

17 Th Grade



And now I go back to school
having no longer
potential renumeration
jailing my curiosity!
my age is my scholarship fund
to explore with curiosity anew
history, anthropology
philosophy, literature
not for a grade but
surrounding myself
with young minds
more agile than mine
with no competition in mind
what a privilege this is
why I am so lucky!

Interesting poem, but it is not blank verse. It is free verse. Big difference!
