Learning How to Fly

You hold yourself aloft, You breathe a higher air; The lessons learned in hard knocks class Have earned you points to spare. The troubles of the plebians Down where the lowly lie Don’t touch you now, you’re too highbrow, You’re learning how to fly…

You hold yourself aloft,

You breathe a higher air;

The lessons learned in hard knocks class

Have earned you points to spare.

The troubles of the plebians

Down where the lowly lie

Don’t touch you now, you’re too highbrow,

You’re learning how to fly…

      Thanks Russ – glad you liked it! It looks a little bit snotty, that bloom – I thought the tone of the poem needed to match! 🙂

    Reblogged this on Teacher as Transformer and commented:
    This is wonderful poem with a great picture. Do we learn to fly or clip the wings of those trying?

    Love the color of the clematis? Is this the name of your plant?

    1. melodylowes

      Yes, it is a clematis variety – lovely, isn’t it?
