Poetry About Learning

Poetry about learning honors the mind in motion: the question asked twice, the page reread, the mistake that becomes a doorway, and the teacher who knows when to wait.

Learning is not only schoolwork. It is humility, attention, practice, wonder, and the lifelong courage to let the world revise us.
