POETS ON KNOWLEDGE DAY

Let’s celebrate your return to the classroom.

For the new school year on 1 September.

The nation’s children are also taking important steps.

Today is Knowledge Day.

 

Let’s celebrate your return to the classroom.

Even if it has felt very different for you.

‘Gandalf the Green’ attends a ceremony in Irpin.

Today is Knowledge Day.

 

Let’s celebrate your return to the classroom.

Schoolchildren in Bucha visit a shelter.

During a session of evacuation training.

Today is Knowledge Day.

 

Debris littered the hallway of a bombed-out school.

With a drawer full of pens and love hearts.

In the southern city of Mikolaiv.

Today is Knowledge Day.

 

 

*Because I read “In pictures: Ukrainian children return to school” in “Live Reporting” edited by Claire Heald on 1 Sep 2022, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 April 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem.
Please read the original story and look at the photos on the BBC news:
