The Promise

Thoughts on Education

 

Like a waterfall off a cliff

I try to pour what I know,

With little resources.

Through a needle’s eye, kneeling down,

Catching a glimpse of possibility,

With a promise so clear.

what a wonderful succinct and excellent message. I enojoyed very much, a prominent term in theory of knowledge or education since the 17th century, ‘a posteriori’ signifies a kind of knowledge or justification that depends on evidence, or warrant, from sensory experience, your 'promise' statement tells exactly that.

This is very beautiful, and so very well stated. Well done!

I like this one! Like the others have said, short and to the point. Very concise and lucid.
I've been starting to gain a greater understanding and respect for poetry lately, and I really like this one.
Good work Barb :)

A short but potent poem.

You have condensed a lot of meaning into a few vivid images.

Great use of simile and metaphor.

The tone perfectly depicts the narrator's persistency and optimism.

The language use is simple and clear and yet lacks no depth either.

Great work.
