Graduation Erasure Poem

Erasure Poem

Graduation, a time of celebration,

a time to reflect on life’s journey,

a time of change.

Change!?

Sure, why not change!

Let’s change the venue,

let’s change the attire,

heck let’s not even have a formal graduation!

Now that is change!

Instead, let’s leave the graduation

solely to the students.

Let them have their own personal celebration

whether at their house, a park,

or any other place they prefer.

Let them take as much,

or as little time to celebrate

as they want.

It is their choice on how they want to celebrate.

So celebrate at any place you want,

Celebrate at any time you want,

and most importantly, celebrate if you want to.

Only if you want to.
