Haiku Friday: Graduation
You know what is kind of weird? I remember nothing about my high school graduation-- nothing. I'm not sure why; it's not like I was drunk or anything. I do remember college graduation, though with some disappointment. I had auditioned to be the commencement speaker and was rejected as "too iconoclastic." Harsh, but fair. I remember law school graduation fondly, and these days I love seeing my students graduate.
So let's haiku about that this week! Here, I will go first:
Commencement means "start"
But it feels like such an end
We walk our own paths.
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!

The dichotomy:
Beginning and end. That’s what
Graduation is.
Like life that follows.
You will always be starting
and stopping something.
Even at the end:
If you’re a person of faith,
death will hold no fear.
It gloriously
will be your transition to
life everlasting.

Commencement for this
Army brat meant leaving the
place she lived longest. 💚
