Tallmadge High Golden Graduations

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

Writing about The Circle does bring a sense of pride in being a Tallmadge Grad, and a Golden one at that having graduated in 1966. Blue Devil mascot mosaic at old high school.

Tallmadge High Golden Graduations

Youth back springs, around The Circle,
Within what will become old - now,
But what was brand spanking new High - then.
One knew things, would gradually change,
After getting that Tallmadge Grad diploma.

Wear in spoken words, one evolves writ spoke fiction,
Revolving one year, onto yet another decade friction. 
Dirt around wagon wheels did rut Tallmadge once.
As autos added pebbles, rock – to cement asphalt.
Oh dew, remember those muscle cars of the sixties.

Tick tock clockwise time, seconds traverse minute motion,
While counter clockwise traffic, rushes right around moves.
Summer fades to Fall, another Tallmadge class begins journeys,
Where Winter education Spring’s another graduating class.
When Tallmadge grads challenge the World in Spoken Words.

Amid Golden Graduations, one’s new High School sub comes.
First to become Junior, and then meet time’s wrecking ball.
What is Young’s youth, will then be, aged forevermore - lost dirt.
Wherein dye pyre of rubble, we bear the Phoenix Tallmadge Circle.
Dew dost depart Wraith - Tallmadge High Golden Graduations.

David Lester Young 07/16/18 THS ’66 Grad

Interesting read! You have just made me think of my high school years with this poem.

I missed those days, but then I had to begin working when I was 15, which makes me wish I could have finished it and enjoyed what was rightfully my good years. I did come to Canada to further my education which I have no regrets at all.

Good job, David!
