NEW SEMESTER (Dickinson Fr260)


I’m here to learn! What about you?
Are you here to learn – too?
Then there’s a school of us!
Don’t stop! ’Twould paralyze you know!

How weary to be self-absorbed –
How puffed up – like a bore –
To close one’s heart. The lifelong quest
Is the thirst to learn more.

This poem is so cheesy Dr. Hallen. It is hilarious, a play off of Dickinson's poem. I love it. I hope we will always keep learning and never stop. The message is good.
