The sky drips
its soggy sorrow
on students
walking into exams.
They step
out of white hazes
in expectation
(or desperation).
The sky drips
on their satisfaction
of consummation
and their sighs
of celebration
for coming
graduation.

Shawn L. Bird 
Very well put. My son just got done with his college exams!
I hope he had a successful term!
Well now I am gonna be a proud mom and say…he is on the Dean’s list with a 4.0 and he is going to med school.
Oh VERY good! You deserve to be proud! (Congratulations on all YOUR effort to get him to this point!)
I say desperation. 😉 Love this!
There’s definitely lots of desperation in the air!
Well said. The poem is lovely. Exams…not so much.
I concur. 😉
this is lovely.
btw – are you being impacted by the flooding I’m hearing about – or is that all occurring east of you?
(just a little worried, that’s all!)
Thanks.
No, we’re not in the midst of flooding ourselves this year, though the water in rivers and creeks was VERY high a couple of weeks ago. The flooding in the news is East of us, either in the Kootenay region (one mountain range over) or in Alberta (a few mountain ranges over). I do have some school friends who are out of their houses in High River, doing roof rescues! They will have horrible clean ups as the water is up 3 or 4 feet in places.
Well, I’m glad to know you’re safe & dry! 3 or 4 feet! that’s going to be an awful mess!
