Hello Everyone! Right now, I am suffering from a terrible case of writers block. Right now, I am thinking ahead to this May and highschool graduation. (I know it's a long way off, but I like to plan ahead.) anyways, somthing I started last year is to give my close friends who are graduating a framed poem that I write that has somthing to do with graduation. I try to make each poem uninique. Well, I have three poems to write this year, and I have no ideas for any of them. And so I'm searching around from ideas. My question for you to get my brain flowing is; "What does Graduation mean to you?" I am planning on asking the graduates that the poems are going to be for this question as well, so I can make it a little more personal, but I just want some general ideas to think about for right now. :)

Thanks,
Ripples

UPWARDLY MOBILE CAT

If the cat sits
in the Provost's chair,
Wisdom,
devoid
of Right Understanding
becomes Worldly Savoir-Faire.


(From Oxford Poems by Brian Taylor)

Any help, Ripples?
