Leaving School Poem by Neethi (10 Aug 1990)
Leaving School
Embossed in its very air,
the (now) precious tomfooleries,
the endless repartee on trivialities,
and the freedom
to craft newer ways to err.
I put down a loaded bag,
leaving the old books,
to lift another equally hefty.
One that carries
the fruit of duties, deeds and discipline.
My feet, alongside the entrance
which once stood so tall,
timidly stride on a new course.
And perhaps,
would create a few of their own.
Hauled by nostalgia, I stop
and give a last parting glance
to my fourteen-year-old dwelling,
only to realize
that it had taken me in for-ever.
your ability to write poetry is amazing for an 18 year old don't ever stop i stopped writing poems for 25 years, but now i'm back in action check out some of my work, you might like it perhaps 'give us chinaski' might have meaning for you, it's in honor of my favorite poet, Charles Bukowski careful though, if you check out his work, he is often crude and pulls no punches
