Two Poems from our Graduations Poetry Collection

 
 
THE UNKNOWN POET
   
Author: Meg Nelson
   
Poem:
THE UNKNOWN POET
   
  In a shadow draped, oppressive room,
he sat alone by candle light.
With pen to parchment, in the gloom,,
he wrote of mankind’s plight.

Haunting visions a raging tempest,
on a stormy sea of obsession.
Verses rose and fell in quest,
on the rolling waves of depression

He wrote sonnets and quatrains,
rhyming words of life and death.
Passionate and with sad refrains,
his heart, his soul, his breath.

Liquid inspiration in ink flowed,
line after line in black and white.
The fervor in his mind glowed,
with hell fire’s blazing light.

His hands now weak and worn with age,
made subservient to his muse.
Subjugated to write of rage,
his pent up passion to infuse.

This would be his greatest tome,
written of his unrequited love.
His heart within, heavy as stone,
as the angel of death hovered above.

He passed with pen still in hand,
spilled ink now blurring the pages.
Another poet passed as sand,
through the hour glass of the ages.

Mourned not nor known by many,
reclusive and deemed insane.
His poetry filled every cranny,
but no one knew his name.

GRADUATION
   
Author: Whitney Yost
   
Poem: GRADUATION
   

From car washes where no one came
To the football games in the pouring down rain
From homecoming to prom and the sweetheart court
If I could I would do it all once more
It seems it didn’t last
And now it’s a part of our past
But now we are ready for our future we’ve been shaped for
We can make it, it can’t be too hard
We have memories to keep us strong
Friends that won't let us go wrong
Teachers words of wisdom
We will keep with us until the end
Now we would like to thank those who has helped us reach today
Teachers that pushed us along the way
Parents that wouldn’t let us quit
Friends that were beside us through all of it
We thank you from the bottom of our heart
Without y'all we wouldn’t have made it this far
One thing I do want to say
If you ever get doubtful along the way
And you feel you can’t take anymore
Just remember we were the class of 2004
