Poetry from High School 1980-1985
Poetry from High School 1980-1985
“Pony Ride in the Sky” was my senior year major project – a collection of poetry that, looking back at it now, really captures high school. I dedicated that project to my grandfather Albert H. Morehead (writer) who met me but who I never really met (since he died the year I was born). This collection was written during the 1984-85 school year.
This set of poems were my contributions to a poetry anthology I edited for a Creative Writing class in Grade 12 at Upper Canada College, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A number of copies were printed and distributed throughout the school. Surprisingly, the anthology was popular despite the bad rap poetry gets in any high school – today or 30 years ago.
These poems represent additinal efforts during high school authored for assignments or just for pleasure.
